Earlier this week, in an awkward incident that happened on an MRT train, a construction worker gave up his seat for an elderly woman who seemed reluctant to sit on an empty seat beside him
According to a viral Facebook post by a woman named Regina Yqh, the Indian man was seated opposite her with an empty seat beside him.
"After some time, one elderly Chinese aunty boarded the train. She appeared reluctant to sit down and exchanged eye contact with him as if he needs to stand up before she agrees to sit down," the woman wrote on her post on 17 July.
She added that following the staredown by the elderly aunty, the man stood up to give the seats and let the aunty hog on the two empty seats.
While the man was humble enough to let the elderly aunty have both the seats, she gave him a look as if he did something wrong
"The man seems fine but awkward. He is nice enough to give up the seats," read the Facebook post, which has garnered thousands of Reactions and over 1.8k shares.
The woman who wrote the post then added that seeing how the man appeared awkward, she immediately stood up and offered to change her seat with him.
"Because come on, why doesn't he deserve a seat? We are all paying transport fare, isn't it?" she wrote, adding that she then sat down beside the elderly aunty.
