Reason 0003 : Able bodied People Who Use Lifts in MRT Stations

One of the most disturbing and disgraceful things I have ever witnessed is able bodied people using the lifts meant for the handicapped in MRT stations. I am sure you have seen this before: people queueing up to use the lifts, especially during rush hour. Hey people, "wake up your idea lah, dey!" The lifts are meant for the disabled or elderly people who have difficulty using the escalators or walking long distances. Why are you using it when you have legs to walk with? There was even once when I witnessed young, working adults getting into the lift first, leaving an old woman to wait for the next available one. For shame!!!

Don't give people the excuse that you had a long day and you are tired. Just treat the extra walk as a form of exercise. Thank your lucky stars you are not handicapped. If you want to take the lift so badly, wait till you lose the use of your legs in future and you can use it all you want.
