How Compliant Singaporeans Have Become!
-
do they have the right to search our bags? can any1 confirm this? shopping centre security guards also got no rights u know.....
-
Apparently, it appears that in Singapore, the matter of individual rights is rather vaguely defined, if at all defined.
So, if a security guard approaches you and demands to inspect your bag, you are very likely obligated to comply, due to the authority and the rights given to security guards currently.
So, what rights? -
Just wanna share with you another ridiculous incident I encountered in GV Jurong Point yesterday.
My wife and i brought our 2 sons, one is 6 years old, the other is only 8 months old sitting in a stroller. We went to the counter to purchase 3 tickets.
To my surprise, the counter aunty told us that children above 1.2m need to purchase a ticket and wanted us to bring our younger son to the height chart to confirm he is not more than 1.2m. I told her that he is only 8 months old and could not even stand on his own yet, but she insisted we do so.
I was so fed up that I told her I do not want to talk to an idiot like her and asked her to get her manager to talk to me. To my surprise, she actually did and the poor manager had to apologise for the mistake the idiot made.
My point is that certain policies made by the organisation are good, but it is the method its staff carry out the policies is crucial. -
ACTUALLY, if I am the cinema operator, I would insert the following clause (all in small prints on the back of the cinema tickets), FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CONCERNED, ALL PATRONS ENTERING THE PREMISES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THEIR BAGS OPENED & CHECKED. FAILURE TO DO SO IS AN OFFENCE.
Remember the cinema bomb blast in India? For precautionary measures against any terrorist acts, any cinema operators or landlords for that matter , can (/should ?) require anyone entering the premises to be subjected to security checks including showing of identity cards, opening of bags & even restricting outside food. Why, because you are entering a restricted place.
Wonder why nobody hangs around our public grass patches? because there is a sign board saying, " Stateland: Enter at your own Risk"
Singaporeans are just so obedient to rules. NO Rules? then set the rules & they will just follow.
Best test on how 'law-abiding' typical singaporean can be: Ever go to a crowded food court & see that nobody sits at the empty chairs & tables all because there are tissues papers placed there? Since when there is a law to say that we can reserve seats with tissue paper & yet no singaporean has the guts to break it? tell that to a foreigner & he will be amazed at how 'law' abiding singaporeans are in our own country. That also explains why we can't wait to break the laws when we are overseas.

What offence? What constitude to an offence is when the law is passed against, an act which will breach the law.Originally posted by bluesky296:ACTUALLY, if I am the cinema operator, I would insert the following clause (all in small prints on the back of the cinema tickets), FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CONCERNED, ALL PATRONS ENTERING THE PREMISES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THEIR BAGS OPENED & CHECKED.

E.g: No smoking in malls - By law.
Under such circumstances, they cannot have any imprint any how. -
FAILURE TO DO SO IS AN OFFENCE meaning that failure to comply to the terms & conditions stated while you purchase a ticket to enter the cinema (restricted area for patrons & authorised personnel). The result is you can be refused entry since you did not comply fully to the terms & conditions. It is willing buyer willing seller agreement. Too bad if you can't see or choose not to read the small prints carefully.Originally posted by M©+square:What offence?

No offence intended. But isn't this FAILURE TO DO SO IS AN OFFENCE is almost everywhere? In fact, it is used so commonly that it conditions the people to be so obedient & follows the rule as nobody likes to be deemed a failure. -

tat the reason y the fella is still the ticket seller
Good follower type.... to the letter -
Frankly speaking, asking if the seat is taken is mere courtesy. It's nice to be asked, it's nice to ask, but if the other party is lying about it, I don't see why I shouldn't take the seat.Originally posted by fire & ice:don't like tat lei.... try eating on your own and see if any1 wanna share their table with u anot lor....

I wouldn't care if it's crowded. My butt can sit anywhere it likes, especially when I have a right to. By respecting your tissue paper when the place is not crowded, I'm already being kind enough. You want me to respect when it is crowded? You can wait forever then.Originally posted by bluesky296:Best test on how 'law-abiding' typical singaporean can be: Ever go to a crowded food court & see that nobody sits at the empty chairs & tables all because there are tissues papers placed there?

There was once a guy in NUS picked a fight with me and my bf because we took his seat which was "chopped" with nothing? And the whole bloody LT was crowded. He came back picked a fight, started getting abusive, used words like "b1tch" pointed fingers in my face. My bf went to get the campus security. Then the guy was like "I'm sorry I'm sorry." Fuck, he better be if he still has a brain. If we had pursued this, that Fucker might be in jail now. -
