Kiasu-ism isn't new in our country, and it is blatant whenever public transports are involved. You might have experienced a time when you had a heck of a time trying desperately to alight from the train due to the hordes of people standing right in front of the train door. Downright inconsiderate idiots.

In the past, all I did was simply let them pass while i try to squeeze through them. I think it happened to me too much that I had decided to abandon the courtesy campaign (on my part) and make a new move.

I was at Jurong East Interchange the other day, and I finally got to try out what I had longed to do. As usual, I was inside the train waiting for the door to open, and on the other side of the door, a huge group of people had already begun their rush-for-the-seats competition. They were standing so near the door that it was simply impossible for commuters to alight. I wasn't in the best of moods that day, so when the train door finally opened, I practically bulldozed my way through, intentionally elbowing two aunties who were nearest the door. What I found hilarious was that they didn't even bother to comment or look at me, presumably still adamant on getting a seat. I think they got so used to the jostling that they didn't seem to mind anymore.
