show your courtesy

i've got 2 elderly relatives from overseas for the week and being local, i showed them around the city. they wanted to experience the malaysian light rail transit and monorail as compared to the one in hong kong and singapore. i mapped out a small route that will take them in all 3 city trains that we have.

we took one of the ride from klcc to masjid jamek and it was packed. then, i noticed this big sign saying 'seats for elderly, pregnant and handicapped - are you aware?' in bahasa melayu. right below the sign, there was an empty seat and one of my relatives took it while the rest is occupied by another 3 person who is at their 30's and 40's. believe it or not, none of them offered their seat to my other relative. what happened to the courtesy of the people in this country? it really pisses me off and come on!!! they're at least double your age, can't you just move your butt and allow the elderly to have a seat even though it's a short one. these are the minority that gives a bad name to the entire countrymen.
