What you gonna find out in this simple post? An simple act in a train make you think….
Maybe you click into this post mainly due to the title, right? I purposely put the Title as it is now to attract more people to read this.
I think if you use our Malaysia LRT to work daily, you might find crowded inside the train. You can hardly find a seat. When you finally got a place to sit and at the same time you saw a senior citizen/pregnant women or small children stand nearby you, will you give up the seat for them? I think in Malaysia maybe 1/100 will give the seat to them, maybe I’m wrong, please proof I’m wrong.
I think you should see the picture below and think…

but I found this picture from HERE.
Thanks for sharing the picture, ss kinda hard a bit to change Malaysia culture in short time, but i believe that our Malaysia will be better in the future. Hope you also believing it.
I thought really got…
*hmph*
felt cheated !!
very nice! i used to take lrt for a very long time, and whenever i see someone pregnant or old lady i will start to debate within myself… to stand up, or not to stand up.
usually to stand up wins, but sometimes the devil remains.
In America, we rarely give up our seat to someone more deserving.
Blacks were once ordered to sit in the back of the bus and to give up their seats to whites. That rule helped spark the huge American civil rights movement.
In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks, age 42, a black woman, refused to obey the white bus driver’s order to give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. She was arrested for that. She, along with Martin Luther King, organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Now that we are all equal under the law, few of us give up our seats to anyone else. We should pass a law where pregnant women and old people get the seats.
I wonder if things are the same in Singapore. To an American, proper conduct seems to be the law in Singapore. Is that correct?

I don’t know about Singapore condition since I’m not living in singapore…
But in Malaysia, I don’t think people will let go their place for others, and same goes to Japan, they would not let go they seat once they’re seated in the train/subway~

Grey:
Sometime it goes same in me, my minds fighting whether to stand up or not? and why not others stand up instead of me…
But mostly I’ll stand up for them to have a seat~
My Friend,
We are the same the world over.
I do realize that you don’t live in Singapore, but I thought you may have visited.
In America, we focus way too much on the rights of the individual as opposed to the rights of society as a whole. Singapore seems to focus more on protecting society as a whole. We need some of that in America.
The big news here today is a man named Clemmons who just killed four police officers. He is known to be violent and psychotic, yet we repeatedly let him out of prison. What a mistake!
Fortunately, a police officer killed him this morning.
Guns are widely available here, and the wrong guys seem to have them.
