Was going for Jap classes this evening and while I was walking through the underground tunnel from Orchard MRT towards Shaw House, there was a wheelchair-bound gentleman trying to push his way through the crowd uphill towards the MRT station. There must have been hundreds of people who walked passed him, but no one seemed to have noticed the gentleman. As as he was using all his might to push himself up the slope, people simply walked by him.
Was it so difficult to offer to push him up the slope? While it's a gentle slope to us, any one who drives probably know that you need more power than it seems to go uphill. Didn't anyone see that he was having a hard time pushing himself upwards? Or did everyone simply ignored him because he looked like he's salivating and have problems talking? Or was everyone so caught up in their own lives that they can't even take 5 minutes out to help a fellow human in distress?
