'Bookworm' occupies Reserved Seat, ignoring mother and baby

STOMPer yummybearbear was turned off by a student who was so engrossed in his books that he did not give up his Reserved Seat to a mother and her baby.

"On Thursday, February 2, I was on the Pasir Ris-bound train along the East-West line, when I noticed this youth who seemed to be in his mid-twenties.

"He was carrying an NTU sling bag and reading a textbook. He was also holding on to some notes.

"He sat down on the Reserved Seat and shortly after, this mother came in with her baby in a pram.

"She looked unstable whenever the train came to a halt.

"The student was so engrossed in studying that he was oblivious to her or maybe he just couldn't be bothered. Being an NTU student myself, I was turned off by his behaviour.

"I would rather our future generation be a courteous bunch of people than like him.

"Results aren't everything, dude."

"Unstable"? Should blame it on the MRT braking system because sometimes, the train jolt to a stop without warning. If you think that the mother deserve a seat, just go over and ask the student nicely. You, the Stomper, should make the effort to lend a helping hand. However, the mother can still afford to stand because she is not carrying the baby with her arm. If she did, she should be given the seat without doubt.

These NTU student is busy studying to become the next uncaring PAP candidate for GE 2016. Good education qualifications but no heart for the people. Bad habits start from young.

Nothing wrong here mother is not pregnant/handicapped and baby is lying down in a pram. Since when are NTU students so retarded..

aisehbaby : sorry to burst your bubble. In the long run, a cert alone don't mean sh*t. Good results from a reputable institution gives you an awesome headstart but that's just about it

Actually results IS everything. When you got a cert you'll have everything.. imo.
