Perhaps this is why they are extra sensitive. Yishun MRT Station was a terrorist target in 2001.

On another note, does it really help improve the image of photographers by "standing your rights" and acting like a big bully? Why not simply smile, compile and then write in to their superiors to clarify and get clearance and come back. Then you can shoot all you want without interference. For all you know the guards might even tell you the best angles to shoot.
Did you read my post? I already know that Yishun was target by terrorist back in 2001. I also don't think that standing my right make me look like a bully. If you were there you will feel how unreasonable the staff sound. Even the aunty seating near our setup which she overhear everything also few that they are being too unreasonable. I already explained to the staff politely what I am doing and the duration I'm will be there for. When they ask about what we are doing we only have about 15mins left on the timer for my timelapse panning head. Because who would have thought that shooting on a public area is against their company policy. And like I say if shooting there really is a big security threats they should put up a sign warning people. They should at least allow us to finish our video since we only have 15mins left. And do you think those bus enthusiasts ask permission everytime they want to take pictures of buses at bus interchange or bus stop? But still after this incident I would called up and get a letter or something before going down.
