Campaign - Seats for the Elderly

MyPaper, 05 Feb 08.

I can't imagine. Other than countless "Please stand clear of the yellow line", "Please MIND the GAP."and "Please look out for any suspicious-looking items...", this self-proclaimed 'person-who-needs-seats-more' is suggesting that MRT add on another chant.

"PLEASE GIVE UP YOUR SEATS TO PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM MORE, YOU SELFISH PEOPLE. I KNOW YOU ARE FAKING YOUR SLEEP AND PRETENDING THAT SOMETHING'S INTERESTING IN YOUR NEWSPAPERS!"

That will keep the MRT public announcement system very busy and chatty.

Why do seniors think that seats should come naturally to them because of their age, instead of appreciating those who gave their seats up for them?

...

A campaign of 'Giving up Seats' won't work. It's not like people didn't know in the first place. They have instead chosen not to. And that is something innate in them. (Note: "They", "Them".)
