On The Track

I was on my way home to fetch my lappy(sab's term for laptop) and of course,the best way to go home is by using LRT and KTM..I missed the train to Rawang while pampering myself with an ice-cream...padan muke!
I waited for about 20 minutes for the next one..finally when the train arrived,I queued at those lines where passengers were supposed to stand while waiting those from the inside to come out of the train..I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw people outside of the train waited patiently as people from the inside got out of it..I still remember vividly,years ago, when I was still in school..they used to push each other to get into the train..not even considering those who wanted to get out..what an ass!There were this lady and her child nearly missed their stop as people kept pushing them into the train..it was such a nuisance!Once, I also witnessed a foreigner offering her seat to an old man,he was very old and I don't think he could stand for long,yet there was no one to come and offer him a seat until that British woman!I was standing not far from the old man and God knew how embarassed I am to see such an attitude!We are Malaysian,we're famous for our variety of customs and culture,and it is believed that Asians respect and honoured older people better than the Western..but what I saw proved the opposite,they had more courtesies and manners better than us..today's incident made me think that perhaps Malaysian are being better toward this kind of things..manners and courtesies..but a few things bother me as well..is it because the time factor?I mean it's not the peak-hours..lots of people are still working,and it's just 3 something in the evening..even I know there'll be plenty of spaces..why bother hasting?Well..it's just my assumption,who knows..but I'm proud to see it..for me it's a sign that we all are changing towards the better..
