Crusading in my Lalaland
Compounded discourtesy!
There are many a things singaporeans are bearing the guilt of. Kiasu-ness may be pardoned but definitely not bad etiquette on the mrt.
Scenario 1:An elderly man enters the train only to find it packed with no available seats. Mr kind-hearted stands up and offers his seat. (and then here comes the unexpected) Ms selfish(who is completely abled MIND U!) jostles her way to grab that seat.Exchanging glances with mr kind-hearted and the elderly man(who is darn in need of the seat) makes no signs of lifting her heavy butt of the bloody seat.
Scenario 2: A preganant lady enters an overloaded train. She stands right infront of the seat(labelled with the sign"please give up your seat to the needy")unfortunately the seat is already occupied with mr sha-la-la a young chap who is staring at his MP3 player. mr sha-la-la never once look up from his damn player. with head held low. he 'fails' and pretends to not notice the pregnant lady infront of him.
Scenario 3:ms studious is sitting comfortably on her seat in the train. then comes a mdm A(mind u its a Mdm which is one in her late 40s already) who sat snugly beside ms studious. Its as if flaunting her mp3 hp, mdm A took her hp out and started doodling on the buttons. Then came the sudden blast of music!ms studious who have already immersed into the book jolted up. while Mdm A happily bobs her head(inspite of angry stares from other passengers on board) to the music. yup yup shes the smooth 'criminal'.
Alrite! how many of u have been victimised by all these nonsensical behaviours??(im raising my hand high in the air right now). Please someone come up with either a '101 ways to MRT etiquette' or 'Courtesy for Dummies'...singaporeans are to be educated.
