1a) What was the reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations?

The reason is to prevent commuters from falling onto the tracks and being hit by trains .

b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?

Taipei and Paris .

2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?

My opinion is that stop eating or drinking in the train is for their own good . If they does , they will gradually increase the no of commuters eating in the trains too . This will makes the train look dirty as there are peoples littering in the train after they eat . Giving up seats for the elderly , disabled or pregnant women is like doing a good deed . We should help them as they are much weaker .
