selfish people betray me

Todae i was betrayed. by my fellow countryman, as hard as i would find it to admit. this has naturally left a bitter aftertaste in me, which i find extremely hard to forget.
Todae when i reached the mrt there was like 2 mins to go b4 the train came. and when the train came it was damn crowded. i deliberately moved to a more secluded spot in anticipation of this, becoz i knew that crowded trains were veri distinct possibilities at 7 pm on a fridae.
when the train arrived and stopped at the platform, some people hu came later den me din show any sense of shame and rushed to the train entrance, determined to get a standing spot on the train. being the samaritan i am, i alwaes allow these people to go in first. but after these people went in, dey refused to move in anymore, resulting in me being the onli guy on the platform unable to geddin. afta i graciously allowed dem to enter the train even though dey arrived late, dey din even try to accomodate me, nor spare me a compassionate glance. this is wad singaporeans are like. and i am damn worried.
this selfish phenomenon has far reaching implications. in the light of the london terrorist attack,it throws doubt on our ability to recover should a catastrophe take place here. for in this country, people place themselves before society and country. it is a place where the majority is driven by greed and self-gain, and the government has failed badly in inculcating a sense of solidarity or unity in the population at large.
our ancestors would definitely be sad and extremely bewildered should dey still be alive to witness the people of singapore todae. it is a sad occasion.
