My Doll Needs The Seat More Than You

This is a typical scene AyeTaiTai faces on the train daily. She is next to the door, with a Third Trimester Baby Bump. On the Priority Seat is a primary school-aged girl with her My Little Pony playing with her doll. Her left for a few seats are a young able-bodied young man and a young lady in office wear. She staggers into the train, and no one stands up. Opposite sat a more senior lady who glares at the bump, but not offering her seat since there are more "able bodied" youngsters around. She returns to her game on her phone.


Fortunately, AyeTaiTai is getting off soon on her short MRT journey. It's sad to see such apathy, even hostility from fellow train passengers when she's finding it so hard to walk these days...
