Stop Parking at the Handicap Spot!!!

Nuffnang’s really active. There’s always some activity or some contest going on.
Recently there’s this DiGi MMS contest that encouraged us to snap a picture of anything that would make Malaysia a better place and hope for that change. I’m probably not eligible to win the contest anyway since I work permanently at Nuffnang but last night I saw something that INSPIRED ME to take a picture and send it over.

I was at Midvalley looking for a parking spot when I saw this group of middle aged people park their car on a “handicap spot”.  

You can’t see the spot so clearly in this picture but it was CLEARLY MARKED HANDICAP… so big that you could probably even see it from space.

I was driving past when I saw them get out of the car and I shot a stare at the driver. She was a woman somewhere in her 40s or so. Once she saw me staring at her with burning annoyance she pretended to limp while walking away from the car.  
Even if I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed that she really was limping genuinely from an injury or a cramp, you’re only supposed to park on that spot if you have that STICKER on your car. That sticker is proof that people deem you disabled enough to park there. If you’re limping, that’s a lot better off than the person whose spot you’re taking. Plus there were so many more parking spaces out there! Sure none of them were as close to the exit but still…
I don’t think it’s as small a thing as some of us may think it is. If you’ve been doing that in the past, please stop.
Make Malaysia a better place. Let us start by being considerate especially to the people who have been less lucky than us.
