Overheard on HWZ: No one bats an eyelid at pregnant lady on SMRT train

[dodgeball]

"I don't see what the hag is the problem. If people don't give up the seat, as a preggie, you can ask for it. I'm sure people will give up their seats.

Don't always assume automatic giving up a seat as a privileged right. The preggie have to endorse the power of responsibility to the person whom she wants the seat from - by asking.

There's studies showing someone fainting on a bz street. More than likely no one is willing to help that person. But if the person endorse the right and call for help, that person will most likely receive help. Bystander's effect you can call it."

Should our society be degraded to a point where people will only show kindness when they are asked to? It is not about rights. It is about compassion and kindness. If people have to be prompted to do good, our society will become very passive and never be able to reach self-actualization.

Why should I give up my seat for a preggie when her pregnancy has nothing to do with me.

 

[laksaboy]

The problem is sometimes we can't tell if a woman is pregnant or fat. Those loose clothes make it hard to tell.

Also, you're not carrying my baby... I quite frankly can't be arsed if you had a miscarriage.

Life is fraught with risks, sometimes you have to take a chance. If you're pregnant and you have to stand inside a train, you stand.

I've seen pregnant women become pillion riders on speeding motorbikes. If you preggies think you're in danger simply because you are not seated inside a moving train, you obviously need to get out more.

Sometimes hard to tell whether pregnant or just fat :(

Humans are inter-connected leh.

It's better for preggies to move around rather than sitting around. It will help to make their Chee Bye more elastic.

You're being an ass.

OTOH....ive seen pregnant women make others lose face by turning down the seat when offered. They prefer to stand....i only vacate if the person makes eye contact....for oldies, i spring up like a pony and offer my seat.

If wendy got pregnant (which nigh on impossible given the circumstances), id only move if she said get the fook off my seat.

I am just speaking the truth. Preggies have their pride too. They are pregnant, not handicap. You don't want them to shout at you in the public. :p

Preggies should throw a tantrum in public... according to Chinese medical knowledge that might induce a miscarriage on the spot.

Next thing you know you'll find blood streaking down her thighs. And you definitely won't want her to take a seat because of all the blood etc.

Did you miss the start by a few lengths ?

Please don't try to politicise the issue. Taking away the signs is worse. Our society has not attained self-actualization. People need to be fined in order not to litter in public. This is an example of how humans still need to be motivated by fear. But this is not a permanent solution. Our society needs to be evolved but humans must first make the change. Let's not judge the people sitting on reserved seats. Even if we are not sitting on reserved seats, why can't we give up our seats? What's wrong with spreading some love?

You need to be train or have a trained eye to tell the diff between FAT/BIG SIZE to PREGNANT....the former, fats are lumpy & inconsistent in shape, so it does not make a perfect shape ( go see the pork bellly etc)..whereas a baby in a womb, the shape is uniform, least it be round like a ball, elongated like an over blown cigar, mango shaped or protruding forward like a big drum...they are in perfect shape...

It is good practice to take a took around...pregnant woman, have a kind of perculiar way they open their legs when they walk....if you have a belly between your legs...you will walk funny..some like a duck etc..

If woman is more than 6 months into their pregnancy..should not take public transport...if husband cannot afford private transport...he should not F$$%$#k.... ha ha ha ha

lianbeng replies: how to prove n confirm preggie leh? just bcoz she's wearing maternity dress n big tummy? maybe she super obese leh?

Roads are not funded via road tax. They are paid for by the general tax take.

Does not matter...they fall under the disabled category... Obviously with their weight they cant stand for long n in ang mor lands they will b on motorised scooters.
