With such talents of yrs, CSJ shld call you to become his Image Consultant.
CSJ is a very well-mannered well-spoken personality normally, that's except when he comes across PAP people or talks about PAP matters, he turns into another person. I'm no image consultant qualified to advise him. I'm just a casual commentator. He's a doctor of philosophy in neuropsychology. I'm sure he knows what he's doing and what he wants.
Sometimes when you give up your seat to an old man, he never bother to say thanks.
In the first place, it is only courteous to ask if you want the seat.
Sometimes pregnant women get her husband to demand for it, otherwise they will take your photo and post it in the media.
Yes, be a gentleman, always offer your seat without being asked, whether it happens to be a so-called reserved seat or not. All able-bodied gentlemen should voluntarily offer their seats to elderlies, handicapped, pregnant women or women with babies in their arms.
I once saw a ridicously don't know whether to laugh or cry incident on a bus. It was quite packed. There was a senior woman standing in front of a man seated. There was a senior woman seated next to him, and she spoke up, "Mister, why don't you offer your seat to her?"
The man said, "Ask her show me her senior card." She did. Then the man took out his own senior and compared, "See, I'm older than her." Then, ignored them and carried on being seated.
The comparison of ages might be amusing, but the fact that there were so many youngsters around being seated but none cared to offer their seats was rather saddening.
I could only venture a guess as to what these youngsters were thinking. There were on regular unreserved seats, why should they offer? Whatever, it was a very lamentable scene of the state of minds and state of affairs in Singapore as a society.
(Of course, I was standing throughout and had no seat to offer.)
