Yes! we should give seat to fat persons! for the sake of safety!

the reason is because if they stand, if there is an emergency stop, the fat person will fall n caused injuries to skinny pple.

i encounter such problem also. it’s really very hard to differiate between fat and pregnant. Wat i do when a suspected pregnant come stand infont of me, i will get off the train lorh. No need to feel guilty or pai seh if she’s not pregnant.

some corrections

singapore doesn't owe anyone a living.
thus if we want anything, we have to request on our own, and not expect it to drop from the sky.
similarly, if the (those in need) needs seats, they can request, but very often it's usually out of politeness and cutouresty that people give up their places.

We can't blame Singapore Govt, in the whole world, everything is about Money, No Money No talk. So you can't push the blame to them.

It depends on what and how you think if the individual derserves to get a seat or not.

I myself also give up seats to those in need, but only when I feel they really need it.

So far, I will only give seats to pregnant ladies and selected elders..
I will not give way to aunties and Some Elders/Seniors because most of them are so 'kiasu' for seats. Rushing and pushing their way into the train when the doors just open.

Respect and politeness only should be given to those who respect themselves and others.

I don't agree with your opinion that we do not blame the govt. If the topmost people behave as if money is the one and only thing in the world, how do you expect the people to behave?

If our govt is more focused on a kinder society, don't you think more people will be more caring and considerate to others?

Anyway, what I want to emphasize is this:

NO ONE should take it for granted of a considerate act.

DO NOT think that old people, or pregnant women has THE RIGHT to make people give up their seats.

Instead, they should be GRATEFUL and appreciate the kind gesture

How many times I give up my seat, I don't even get a word of thanks from the recipient, more like they think you MUST give up your seat.

In fact, any forumlite here whom thinks that people MUST give up their seats, in truth is an inconsiderate person, and do not understand what a kind act means.

A KIND ACT is one in which a person willingly does it, and is not forced to do it (either by law, or by others). For eg. Lee Hsien Loong's act to donate his increase in pay IS NOT a kind act, coz he was forced to do it.
