I really wasn't trying to be rude

I WAS on the MRT during the morning peak hour and was occupying a "priority seat". I was busy flipping through my school notes when a lady said to me: "Excuse me, she's pregnant". She was pointing at another lady whom I would say most men would have no way of identifying as being pregnant.

Nevertheless, I stood up and offered the seat to her. To my surprise, the pregnant lady took the seat without even looking at me or saying a simple thank you. And the lady who had alerted me simply said a cold and sarcastic "thanks".

While I could not blame the attitude of these two ladies, they need only have said a simple "excuse me". The attitude of expecting an automatic evacuation will only bring about resentment, and ultimately breed more ungraciousness.

Perhaps the Public Transport Council can consider following the Japanese system of having a "women-only space" in which half a cabin is kept aside for women during peak hours.

The Sinkie really must have a brain the size of a pea to suggest something like that...

you do not need to be gracious when dealing with sinkies, they dun appreciate it. I suggest the guy show his middle finger to the lady and ask her to sit on the floor or take a taxi. if no money to take a taxi, then dun get fuck and get pregnant.

The pregnant women deserved the seat as she is carrying a burden in her tummy. If the gal got big breast, I will also give up my seat for her. She also got heavy burden you know..

 

[tonychat]

if got big breast, no need to give up the seat, just help her to carry the burden lah.

In the first place you shouldn't sit on the reserve seats when you are an young and able human.

Go check with LTA, they will tell you its an offence to sit on those seats. GET IT??

Next time, we'll hear something like this at the platform:

The trains coming at platform A & B is for FTs and PR only, for Sinkies, please wait for the next train which is packed.

What works in Tokyo and London will not work in SG.
To Sinkies it makes no difference even with the "Priority Seat" label stuck to the seat itself. They would need to stick a FINE label $$$ like everything else in SG and having inspectors board at random and start issuing summons. Otherwise they might as well scrap priority seats.
