<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I HAVE been in Singapore for only the past two months. I use the public transport frequently and one thing that I have noticed is that youngsters who occupy the priority seats fail to give up their seats for the elderly, even those armed with heavy bags.
Most of the time, the youngsters are glued to their handheld devices or iPods.
I believe the only way (which has kept Singapore straight and running) is to 'fine' them.
But let this be for only a limited period. It will be just a matter of time that the habit of offering seats to the elderly becomes second nature to these youngsters. Ajit Koshy
I luv FTs for good reason! *hee*hee*
