@chowrenjia: My brother took Bus 8 from Toa Payoh at around 7:55am today (27 Aug) and was assaulted by a lady for not giving up his seat to an elderly passenger. Firstly, sitting in a priority seat is not illegal. Secondly, no one deserves to be assaulted for sitting in any seat. And thirdly, not every disability or medical condition is visible. My brother’s leg was affected by complications from both a stroke and leukemia. He has never used his struggles to seek sympathy, favours, or special treatment. This is why we need greater awareness and consideration for others. We cannot assume that someone sitting in a priority seat is being inconsiderate or entitled. We simply do not know what they may be going through. Respect for the elderly is important, but it should never come at the expense of basic respect for another person. There are ways to communicate, ask, or offer a seat without resorting to aggression or violence. If she is a person of faith, perhaps this is a moment for her to reflect on and practise the values her religion teaches: compassion, kindness, patience, and respect for others. What happened to my brother was completely unacceptable. The lady involved needs to take responsibility for her actions and offer my brother a sincere apology. That is the least he deserves.

I understand that she may have been angry or provoked, and perhaps there is another side to the story that we haven’t seen. However, being upset does not justify using vulgar language & being physical. As someone wearing the hijab, I feel that a certain level of restraint and adab should still be observed, even in anger. She could have handled the situation better, and honestly, that part was disappointing to watch.

some people should really mind their own business. it's not their seat they shouldn't force someone to give their seat to anyone let the person choose to give or not to give. I find those people are so irritating they think they are some kind of angel.

No need to be so spicy. Everyone has the right to give up their seats or not. No one should be intimidated this way.

I think the seats should be made equal for everyone...if you want to give or not is your choice not a must! everyone pays the ticket so it is up to each individual & not a must!
