Manners

I took the Kelana Jaya Line today.
I was tired and sleepy (and hungry too, yes.) when I spotted a couple of boys eating waffles while sitting on the opposite row.
Since this is Malaysia, I just thought "Those sure smell good". Trust me, I've seen worse when I went to KLCC lol.
To my surprise, one of the passengers whose seat was directly in front of me politely told the boys that they shouldn't eat in the train.
Sure, there are rules prohibiting that. But have you ever seen someone on the train who actually said something to those who break the rules?
I'm sure it's because of Ramadhan.
I'm really grateful to that Chinese gentleman.
That's a perfect example of respectful person with good manners.

Now, with every good deed you encounter, you're bound to find the not-so-good ones.
I was trying to alight the train at Masjid Jamek when I was push by passengers who flocked into the train.
I guess they were afraid that they'll missed the train and need to wait for the total grand time of 5 minutes *gasps* for the next one to arrive.
I can understand if it's the Komuter. But we're talking about the LRT here.
Why can't they let peeps get out first before boarding the train?
They talk about how Malaysia is a civilized country when the behaviour of its people shows otherwise.
