Clash of the 'Female Gladiators'??

[limlim]

perhaps the auntie should be-contended that someone offers her the seat…


and her story would not appear at ksp…

[Oppsgal]

Should give label tags for people who needs the seat, then others can know who to give up seats too.

Aiyoh, aunty. Tsk Tsk. Weather too hot temper also flare.


I like the way the ah lian point at the aunty and say enough oredi ah. I will also use that tone and words when my kids are throwing tantrums or whining.

These are only the symptoms, the underlying issues are:


1. life is stressful for many and a lot of social discomfort (all rights deemed very important to claim, rightfully or wrongfully)

2. irresponsible social behaviour due to technology (convenience of point and click, people are abusing technology to threaten others. convenience of anonymity and people write irresponsibly)

I encountered a major jam on the highway in a foreign country recently and it was the highway to the airport. I never heard a single horn sound, instead I see people emerging from the car to find out what went wrong ahead and they even gathered together in small groups as strangers to discuss a possible resolution for those people who really needed to get through this jam to the airport. The restless got out and stood at the shoulders of the road for a smoke. There was no noise pollution as far as I knew and my 40 mins wait inside my transport was peaceful. Everyone unanimously exhibited good manners. I had also seen the situation where people from another country in my group were going to blow their top because they could not visit the place of interest due to the jam and had to be postponed. However, upon looking at the group, mostly from that country, all patiently resolving the issue of the postponement, the volcano could not erupt. It was simply \"cultural pressure\" in the positive way.

A few days ago at a mall in the east, I was stopped in a car park for about 10 mins without any movement. I have no idea what was blocking the car at the corner in front of me as my view was blocked. But you could easily guess in the 10 mins, the noise pollution of the horn was alarming to the ears. I, who was just a car behind, was waiting patiently even though I was late to fetch my child but the cars behind me were \"exercising their rights\" unanimously causing pain to the ear drums. Naturally I was anxious too but I TRUSTED the person in front had to do what he had to do...move only when he deemed fit.

There were more incidents both overseas and here......too many to write down.

I felt that I have returned home to a nation filled with anger. Now I know why the holiday was so good, it brought back the human touch. Human touch is a every day thing, not when there is a crisis and donations pour in.

Cannot help but feel that it boils down to our own sense of entitlement. We have been a nation so well taken care of in the past that now when any tiny little thing doesn't go our way, we snap. We are a small country so everything is scaled down, even our tolerance.

When traffic here slows down or when it takes 15mins longer to get to our usual destination, we call it a horrible jam. When the location that we need to get to requires more then 30mins of travel time, we call it very far. Knee high water level we call it major flooding. Have to wait more then 5 mins to be served, we say lousy service.
