Unhelpful students on bus
The attitudes and values of some university students here are a
cause for concern.
On Sept 23, my husband and I boarded SBS bus service 95 with our
18-month old son at the North Buona Vista bus stop at about
11:30am.
The bus was packed with students from the National University of
Singapore.
I was carrying my son and standing directly in front of a group of
three undergraduates (two boys and a girl).
I expected at least one of them to offer us a seat, as I was
carrying my child in one arm and holding on to the bus pole with
the other, but none of them bothered to do so.
They did not have any heavy things on them, so they could have
offered a seat.
But they just stared at me and my son.
It's sad to see that none of these young people - who are supposed
to be part of Singapore's elite - showed any desire to help others
in need.
This incident makes me wonder if there is something wrong with our
education system, or even with our family values.
Have we been too concerned with the paper chase and grades, that
we've ignored the importance of inculcating good values in our
children?
