Woes of public transport - crowded bus = can stick close to you?!

So this guy was standing so close that his back was touching my back... That i had to use my hand and hp to separate us and he still doesn't get the hint.

Finally i jus tapped him and said

Me: can you not stand so close to me? (Obviously i can see that there is a small space in front of him to manuevor)...

Him: (loudly) the bus is moving!

Me: yah, but can you not stand so close to me?

Him: (exclaiming loudly) the bus is moving!!!

Like he's afraid that people can't hear him... 

And then proceeded to complain to the driver in Malay who jus simply laughed it off

Me: yah, but i'm already saying it very nicely liao. 

Cannot take it. There is this thing called personal space and even on a crowded bus, you can still try not to intrude by NOT sticking to your fellow passengers.

And i'm a gal!! He's a guy! How can he stick so close when he kept his distance from the other gal in front of him! What kind of excuses.... Bus moving is no reason to stick so close.

I really want to move out of this area... 

The culprit in green....
