Here is what she said
Why people so inconsiderate ? More people here have the option nearby escalators . Just a 2 or 3 mins walk away .
Yet they hog the lift and deprived those on wheelchair . Hope these people can see their true selfishness here and reflect.
Anyway there a sign stating that Priority to those needy .
Netizens’ comments
- Wheelchairs should always be given priority to take the lift. Others have other options such to use the escalators/climb the stairs but those on wheelchairs do not. Please be considerate.
- Is very common to see such selfish behavior by those who doesn’t need to take the lift
- I have parents who required wheel chair. To get a spot, I will have to push his wheel chair infront of the door, or else you will have to wait and the wheel chair being so bulky could easily make you wait 3 rounds.
