give up your seat and apologize?
or ignore the elderly and continue to see your phone
Not just elderly. Even FT also.
There was once I was seated for a quite a while. On my left side is the priority seat, on my right is empty seat.
A mother and a young son came in. Mother has dark skin colour, close to filippino or indonesian.
She asked me to sit at the priority seat so that she can sit with her son. I thought her that is priority seat and I do not need to sit.
Then she ask can you sit over there? I was like, she probably do not understand what is priority seat in SG MRT. So I repeated again.
I was like, how come you (she) instruct me what to do? Can you stand while your son seat?
So I told her I will exchange the seat with her son instead. So that my left side will have 2 empty seats, instead of one empty seat on my left and one on my right. Then she sat at the priority sit and hug her son, instead her son occupy one seat.
Foreigner really don't know about priority seat in SG MRT.
2nd incident.
While travelling to my destination, opposite of me sat a guy (student). His right hand is priority seat, left side got one empty seat. When the mrt door open, one group of family enter. One elderly man point finger to the student and use his finger to shoo him away to another empty sit beside him. Machiam like boss point you to shoo or go.
If it was me and having a bad mood, I would have educate him
