Which is worse? The unreasonable customer of Grabfood, for not having the gumption to cancel the order to protect the rider?

A netizen shared his unusual experience while taking Bus 100 along Joo Seng Road today when a disabled commuter with a wheelchair suddenly got up and blocked the entrance of the bus, forcing commuters to wait at least another 15 minutes for the second bus to arrive.

I refer to the article “Extraordinary People: In a life of limitations, frustration slowly turns into determination” (Channel NewsAsia, Sep 3).

I was in the first compartment of the train this morning & when it stopped at Tan Kah Kee, there was a group of people waiting for the lift. Behind them was an old lady in wheelchair & 2 SBST staff pushing the wheelchair.

Fatimah and Jeelani are two of the three kids studying at Boon Lay Garden Primary School. Fatimah has Cerebral Palsy at birth and can't walk. She is in primary 4 this year. Jeelani is also in the same class as Fatimah.

This happened in Tampines. Says who china are bad people, there are nice china people. This construction worker saw this lady on her battery operated wheelchair struggling to wheel herself because the wheelchair was out of power. Without any hesitation, he stop what he was doing. Cross the road and wheel the lady. And the distance was not near. Its one end to another end. Kudos to the china guy.

A kind taxi uncle came across this disabled passenger after he had finished his lunch. He helped the man board his taxi and was on his way to the destination when the passenger told him that he had been waiting for more than 1 hour for willing taxi drivers to pick him up, but to no avail. Saddened by the man's story, he decided to give the man a free ride as a kind gesture to brighten his day.

About an hour and a half ago, outside Yishun Central SingPost. Not only did the driver of SJT5426Z parked in reserved lots for handicap drivers, he must occupy TWO handicap parking lots! The car behind him came as I was taking photos, driven by a handicap driver with a Blue label. It hurts me to watch the handicap driver struggle to park into the remaining half a lot, turning the steering wheel over and over, bending his body, twisting his head in discomfort while he tries to park in a lot he has the privilege to park in.
