malaysiakini does not CARRY this STORY

Malaysia seems to have many serious issues like foul-mouthed MPs, "Ketuanan Melayu", Lingam tapes and rampant crime.
The police have scored some major hits on serious crime but to the ordinary folks, there is definitely an air of apprehension when going out.
My house in JB was burgled this week and the person/s probably made a quick exit on hearing my car when I returned - that was 11:30am.
The police were OK as far as making reports was concerned but when they came to the house all they did was to take a photo of the broken grille. No dusting for finger-prints or checking out the area for clues.

The story I want to highlight is about what happened in Singapore at the Immigration inbound-side.
I went to Singapore at about 4pm and there were about 40 people in each of the 3 queues for the "Other passports" counters.
In one queue, there was a young Chinese mother with 2 children and she was carrying a small child who was asleep and her relative also carried a smaller child.
As usual the Singapore officers asked the queue to double up as the queue had reached the end of the waiting hall.
The young mother was about 6 turns from the Immigration checking when 2 Indian young adults asked her to go ahead of them.
SYABAS to these young adults for being kind souls. It shows that ordinary Malaysians are capable of seeing beyond race and acting with a good heart.
Unfortunately the act of kindness was not repeated further up the queue and they still had to wait in line.
I suggest to Singapore Immigration and others that it would be good if the very old (say 65+), the infirm and those with babes in arms be provided a special line where they are allowed to go straight to the end of a single queue(for others) to get some priority treatment.
If you think carrying a child is not your problem to solve, just try carrying say 8kg sack for about 25minutes.
