I would like to share with you about my horrible countenance in the MRT yesterday….I am now into my 8th month pregnancy and I looked significantly pregnant. I felt saddened when I took a train with my colleague with no one giving up their seats when I was just standing right in front of a china lady in her proper executive attire who occupied a priority seat. Even more shockingly, she simply refused and ignored my colleague when she helped to ask for the lady to give up her seat to me. Further, my colleague did emphasize to her gently that it is a priority seat and should give up to those in needs. Sadly, she just simply ignored with nary a consideration. She did not even bother or feel shameful despite our constant requests... (I have captured her photo, please tell me how to upload, see how pretentious she is)
Next, another woman who was sitting next to the china lady and she saw the entire incident. She looked at the china lady strangely at first and I thought she would offer her seat to me, but she was doing the same by simply ignoring us and thereafter went into her BEAUTY sleep. I was really amazed that people of today are just so uncivil minded. All this hype over normal or priority seats is merely a reflection of people's attitude towards inconsiderate, terrible and self-centered behaviour. It is beyond my furthest comprehension as to why it is so difficult for these people to simply offer their seats, especially those that occupying the seat with the OBVIOUS LABEL "PRIORTIY SEAT"?
This clearly shows that no matter how high one's qualification in life may be, if that one does not have the decency to acknowledge another person's need(s), then it is totally useless and these are clearly evident in the MRT scenario. What should the SMRT do to ensure incalcute responsibility for graciousness and safety while taking public transport? Pregnant women require to cope with such situation for a few months, what about elderly?
