today i believe most people are ignorant
I really do not know what have this world comes to.
I never fail to notice that most people sitting on the seats clearly labelled Priority Seatings do not carry a child, pregnant, disabled or having a single strand of grey hair or wrinkles on the face. Look, even if you're 45 years old, you're not consider old GET IT?
The worst offenders are kids in their 20s. The most ironic part is, most of the time, there were plenty of seats at the back. So hard really does it takes a clearly healthy person to walk to the back of the bus.
Yesterday, I saw this lady parked her big bum on one of the priority seats next to her mum who is clearly not even old. So an old man board the bus and it was obvious the man has restriction when it comes to walking yet she didn't move or even offer him the seat. Instead the old man is forced to take a seat all the way at the back. And guess what? Both the lady and her mother were just getting off after a few stops in CBD area. Do you know really need a seat to begin with? Shame on you!
Anyway, the situation is worst back in Malaysia and Singapore. One of my friends relate this story to me when she was working in Singapore and back then when she was 6 months pregnant with her first child, no one would actually offer her a seat most of the time whenever she takes public transport unless she asked for it. God! Especially guys, I cannot stand it if guys just pretend that a pregnant woman does not exist. How ungentlemanly is that?
Okay, it's shopping time. Yippie! (I know it's totally unrelated with this post but just so because shopping makes me happy!)
