My comment on YouthInk Articles ' Singaporeans' lack of social graces a social disgrace '

I disagree with the writer of this article because I seldom meet Singaporean who is like that. I have met one, but I cannot generalize all Singaporean, can I? I want to share my own story regarding on this issue. Please read it and give me your feedback or comment.

When I went to Bishan Community Library, I went to the information counter as to ask how to become a member. When I was talking to the man in the counter, suddenly there was a man, about 40 years old, interupt my conversation with the library officer without seeking any permission from the officer and me for his interuption. He didn't say sorry to me at all. Maybe he was in a hurry, but that's not an excuse for me.

That's the only disgrace that I ever met here. I haven't found the other one yet. I hope that I won't. The MRT issue, it is just the prople who don't want to catch the next train because of the limited time that they have.

In my opinion, we can still improve our social graciousness. As a matter of fact, social graciousness is a good habit for all of us.
