This week, I noticed that many of the elderly have trouble getting on the escalators in shopping malls. I even saw one elderly almost trip while trying to get onto an escalator! A solution to this problem is for the management to install more lifts for the elderly or to build travelators instead of escalators so that elderly will not find it difficult to get to the next floor in a shopping center. Travelators do not form into steps but remain flat, allowing elderly to step onto it anytime unlike the escalators where the elderly have to make sure they step on a step.
I have also noticed that senior citizens corners are often invaded my teens, taking away the elderly's space and refusing to leave. They also leave their trash and litter at the senior citizen's corner making it very dirty. I suggest that the government set-up regular patrols to catch teens who make the senior citizen's corner dirty and apprehend them. The elderly will then have the corner made for them all for themselves to chat with each other.
