I know this isn't a current affair that i'm blogging about , but anyway , i just want to voice out/type out what i observe in the MRT . Everyone knows about the reserved seats in the MRT , right ? Well , it's reserved for pregnant women , elderly , and the handicap . Honestly , do you really see all those reserved seats are filled up by them ? Maybe just some , not all of it . Most of the time we see capable human beings sitting at those RESERVED seats , reading newspaper , or even sleeping OR
pretending to sleep (we won't know) . Is it fair to the handicapped or the elderly ?
This is something we get to see almost everyday in the MRT . My cousin who was actually pregnant had to stand up from Orchard , and she actually stays at Admiralty . Someone only gave up his seat when it was already at Sembawang . Apparently , he just realised that there was a pregnant lady who needs a seat .
I'm not trying to tell everyone what's right or wrong , just be a little more attentive to our surroundings especially when in the MRT . If possible , we should try to avoid sitting at those reserved seats .
To be frank , i don't really care about the existence of those seats . When i'm going home after shopping with my mother , she will always try to get me to
"surrender" my seat to the needy instead of her giving up her seat . How fair is that ? Hahah .
