Incident 1:

Tis morning, I was on the MRT towards Marina Bay. It was pretty crowded even at the first cabin, given the time of the day where most people would be rushing to work. At this particular stop, I think it was Braddell, a pregnant woman boarded the train. Well, if I could see tt she was pregnant, it would be quite clear to the other passangers, mostly working adults, that she was pregnant. I was standing near the door then, waiting too see some kind-hearted Singaporean stand up and offer the seat to her. Sad to say, none did. Even if someone got off at a station, the seat was immediately grabbed by some selfish passangerwho only think of themselves. "Oh, I'm tired, I stayed up late watching soccer last night, I need the seat."

Is this how Singaporeans are like? Many people seated were young men and women, fully capable of standing the few stops to their destination but yet, none was gracious enough to give up a seat for a pregnant woman. She had to stand all the way to Orchard station where she alighted. I had 2 theories for this:
1) The seated people are BLIND, they can't see the pregnant woman, nor can they see the sign which says 'Please give up this seat to SOMEONE who needs it more than you do'
OR
2) They're plain selfish.

What would I do if I was seated? I'll definately give up my seat. "It's easy to talk." you may say. I can swear, otherwise you can chop of my hand cook curry. To think the government is encouraging people to have babies. Nice way of treating pregnant women huh.
