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 .
Lol...hey!...nice topic!...and who say's it's not a current affair?...It's concurrent!...haha...anyway if people are kind, which they should be, it shouldn't just be a matter of reserved seats...even if it's not a reserved seat, they should give it up to those who need the seats more...
ReplyDeletehaha. even normal seats should also be offered if the reserved seats are all occupied.. its like the most basic courtesy one should have..
ReplyDeleteto give way to someone that is more needy of something..
not only about MRT seats.. but other issues too.. :D
ITS a CURRENT AFFAIR :D since it does happen now in reality.. (:
Yeah! In other countries, the reserved seats are kept unoccupied till the one with priority uses them! Kelly.
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments , you guys (: ohh , and make sure you guys don't be one of those inconsiderate Singaporeans okay ? peace out ^^
ReplyDeleteSad thing! Wonder is it very Singaporean or international??? Is it because life is tough "Man for himself?" or have we forgotten what it means to be kind?
