potentially necessary


Dave saw this in Singapore. We have no idea what it means. So the quotation marks may or may not be necessary, perhaps the whole sign is unnecessary.

  2. It's a colloquial expression meaning be serious and not to fool around. The sign is encouraging passengers boarding the subway to let alighting passengers get off first.

  5. Exactly what J said. I used to live in Singapore and can attest to this particular parlance.
