Repugnance
What a disgusting habit on the road, the man wound down his window to let his cigarette's smoke out of the car. Not sure whether it is against the law or not, but certainly it is a quite common act that you can see on the road. What disgust me the most was that he spat on the road. My god, we are trying to cultivate a "first-world mentality" over here. First-world mentality is about being civic-minded and responsible to nature and public utilities. This includes the ability to respect for public property, because however little that thing you're throwing on the road is, it still is trash (Sujesh Pavithran comment on "The Little Things"- The Star 13 Nov 09)
Later in the afternoon, another disgusting act caught in the act. I was on my way to Kuala Lumpur with my husband and we were at the traffic lights junction. There was a big lorry beside us, the lorry driver wound down the window and throw a plastic bag out from his window.
Maybe they didn't go through the Moral Education like current students do. Just curious whether the Moral Education managed to cultivate the "first-world mentality" on the students?
