<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR>A crutch under my arm but none gave up seat on MRT
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->TO IMPROVE my mobility after several surgical operations on my leg, I am encouraged to take the MRT, rather than depend on car transport. But I am disappointed with the passengers on the MRT. No one offers me a seat as I enter, despite the recent publicity and emphasis of new signs on the train.
I was sure every passenger could see me since I had a crutch under my arm, a visible 20cm healing scar on my injured right leg and a covered wound in my ankle tendon area. A physically fit and well-dressed woman who entered the train fought to take the priority seat once it was vacant. I had to ask her to give it up.
What exactly are the virtues of kindness and graciousness to Singaporeans, I wonder. Lynn Tan (Ms)
