I was on my way home on a bus. It was quite a long journey. After a while, the bus came out a pungent smell. People in front of the bus started moving to the back. I saw this old lady standing in front of me so I gave my seat up to her.
I was standing and I realize there were many seats in front why so many people chose to move to the back. Then I smelled it. It was a Malay boy, who vomited in the bus. Sitting in front of him, was a family of 3. The parents was carrying their baby and they offered a plastic bag for him. Many comments were said, like very smelly and stuffs.
But people chose to help him. Some offered tissue for him, some offered plastic bag. What impressed me was the family which was the family sitting in front of him and they didn't move away and chose to help him.
I was thinking, if I was the one who vomited and felt very helpless and everyone in the bus gave that kind of look, will there be someone out there to help me?
I didn't help him, I admit. I was observing everyone in the bus. Are Singapore so heartless and just see and not do anything? Well, it's always the minority.
It's always the minority that is doing those things. They want to help, they want to impact others life, they want to make a difference in others.
