Respect Senior Citizen and help the disabled?

This morning i went to neighbourhood wet market and NTUC fairprice to hunt for sting ray in order to cook for this evening's gathering, guess what? None!! Not even a single fish can be seen.

Feeling frustrated, i decided to ask one of the stall owners why! Answer was, all good sting ray went to the BBQ stall owners and was left with small little ones, thus they did not buy from the distributors.

The main thing i want to blog is not about the above, it's the process of searching for sting ray. I encountered minimum 9 "aunties" being rude and pushing their way through the crowd, elbow me and used their plastic carrier to "molest" me.

Makes me wonder again, what's the rush? Will the market suddenly run out of meat, vegetable or fruits? Is there a WAR coming which needs a stock up of food? Why can't they wait just a few seconds and give way to people?

Anyway, i felt that ever since our government launched the campaign to ask us "respect the elderly", the old folks have been taking things for granted. They felt that it's an entitlement for them to bash their way through to buy things or getting a sit on the public transport. Hello!! it's a privilege not an entitlement OK? Get this into your brain!

My thought: Our government did a superb job educating younger generations to give up seats and render help to senior citizens and disabled. Perhaps there is a need to start another campaign to educate the senior citizens and disabled on how to "utilise" their privilege properly and let them know the difference between entitlement and privilege!

PS: To the blind guy at Toa Payoh MRT, i want to let you know that you are the WORST disabled person that i have encountered, learn to be polite while asking for help, do not think that you are blind and you are entitled to demand people for help. I helped you and let you used my phone, YOU called your girlfriend for almost 10min demanding to know why she did not answer your call!! Look at your own behaviour and you will know why! You sounded so desperate to make an emergency call and demand me to let you use my phone. Yet this is the so call emergency. SHAME ON YOU!
