LETTER | Gloom and doom may make the news but we must not forget all the positives around us.
| Last year, I relocated to Kuala Lumpur – my birthplace where I had grown up mostly in – after almost 13 years. I recently decided to use more public transportation to be environmentally responsible. I have no excuse not to as KL has an impressive integrated railway network with LRT, MRT, BRT, Monorail and KTM now.
The two considerate people keep on persuading me that I should sit and I continued to politely decline with a smile, till I said goodbye to them at my stop in KL Sentral. I leave the train very touched by how kind and considerate these two total strangers were to me – they didn’t know me, but we were bound by a sense of humanity and compassion.It is getting late as I wait for the last or second-last train back home. The electronic ticker says the next train will arrive in eight minutes.
The bus driver does the next round to drop me off in the right stop before calling it a night in the depot at the end of the line. I am again very touched how a random stranger who doesn’t even know me feels so concerned and responsible to get me to the right stop with an additional round, even though it was my mistake that I missed the right stop.
