Selfish commuters!
Taking the train from Bangsar in the morning normally means I'd bump into Kak CT, a blind lady working in my building. We would usually board the train together and I'd walk her all the way to the reception.
I met her again this morning. We were talking about fire drills and weekends when the train arrived. She walked straight in to stand in front of the seats, in hope that some of the commuters would offer her one. Next to us was an elderly man who looked at us and gave me a half smile while signaling to the people seated in front of us. One lady was sleeping - so that was out of the question. The one next to her, right opposite the elderly man, was a VERY able, strapping young man. And he was fully awake, and FULLY aware that the two people in front of him deserved the seat more. He did everything to avoid eye contact - from playing with phone to checking his nails. The elderly man kept glaring at him, to no avail.
When the seat next to him vacated, the man finally sat down and signaled him to look at Kak CT. Like he cared. When he thought we were not looking, he'd steal glances towards her with a VERY uncomfortable look. *Although not enough for him to offer his seat*
Kak CT finally got to sit down 2 stops before our destination. A woman in her forties got a seat, and pulled Kak CT to sit down. The youngsters around her hung their heads in shame.
And the young man? He got off at the same stop as we did, running out as fast in guilt, only to bump into us again on the escalator. And he got some problem with his ticket.
I guess God pays in cash nowadays!

Di zaman di mana nilai-nilai murni hampir terhakis, kata Haji Malim sambil menelan paku-pakis, amat payah untuk orang berbuat baik pada orang yang tidak dikenalinya. Macam ada perasaan 'malu' pulak nak berbuat baik, kata Haji Malim sambil memandu ke Janda Baik. Tak tahu kenapa, kata Haji Malim sambil menghirup air kelapa. Glug glug glug slurrrrp slurrrrp aaaaah. Orang yang berakhlak mulia dan mempunyai pegangan agama selalunya akan menghulurkan bantuan tanpa rasa 'segan', kata Haji Malim sambil menelan ulat beragan.
ray and the commuter cat
whaaa...shall get the producer of 'kisah benar' to get in touch with you. It has a very good moral of the story. But if the producer did contact you, you might wanna alter the story a lil bit... instead of fire drill, you might wanna talk about something more interesting.
p/s:
1. i would expect a name lioness to represent fierceness. but i guess in this case it's just a purring lil cat.
2. wise old man name mike tyson once said..."an ass shall be kicked if it's due to be"
-bro-
heh heh.. an appropriate response would be, 'Padan mukaaa!!!'
If i were you,I'd smile and tell him this "tak tengok ka advert kat TV tu?"
Ray & Hj Malim: I hear you. Memang orang sekarang macam segan pulak nak buat baik.
Bro : It was too early in the morning. I regretted not saying anything to him.
elisa : Kan?
Mr Hobo : I wish I did!
Very-very interesting!
