..in crowded buses and depriving others, esp elders, of a seat? There have been cases of stubborn commuters refusing to place bags on the floor, and bus captains having to stop the bus to sort out the problems. Should there be better regulations to prevent such incidents before violence happens?

BA to the one with a good idea!

Answer
Frankly I find it totally selfish. It doesn't matter whether there are elderly or young people around, the seat is for people not shopping bags.

It's difficult to regulate this behaviour. Although a monetary penalty usually works, perhaps education on being courteous commuters would teach people to respect each other rather than the fear of losing some money. Within Singapore this would require a generational change in social graces and as such I believe it should be taught to children from the time they begin schooling.

Answer
Many people do sell lots of miscellaneous items (branded bags, branded watches, cheap clothing from China/Vietnam, etc) without licenses. They may sell such items through schools, on internet or some other means like through friends and colleagues.
*Sometimes you may find unlicensed durian trucks (from Malaysia) plying around the housing estates selling their durians to the neighbourhood.
