Be considerate!

The need for the above sign shows that there are some dog owners who are not considerate. Being considerate promotes good neighbourliness and friendliness not just in the park, but in the train, buses and many public places.

It is not just about dogs not being leashed or their poos not picked up, but it includes speaking loudly on mobile phones in crowded places like in the bus or on the train, the irritating noise emitted from the earpieces where the volume was turned to maximum when listening to MP3 songs, littering and throwing things down from high floors in HDB flats and habitually slamming the house door forcefully upon returning home from a bad day at work. Examples are numerous.

I think it would be good for us to reflect for ourselves if we do consciously or unconsciously exhibit some of these behaviours which make our neighbours or people around us feel very unpleasant and miserable. The way to be considerate is to put ourselves in others' shoes and think!!!
