The writer reached a conclusion of her own. Which may or may not be correct. How did she arrive at such a conclusion? It could be a dozen other factors, yet she settled into a racial-motive factor.
That says a lot about her own so-called understanding and civility. And also her own, I quote 'experiences in the Third World country...having to work with people from diverse backgrounds and nationalities' end quote.
What an irony. Seems like she's not that enligtened after all. -
my cousin was going home by the lift late at night one time. then got 4 indians follow him. after door close, they beat him up and stole his wallet.
heng his wallet onli left 20cent -
Did this writer practise what he/she preaches?Originally posted by crazy monkey:In Singapore, are we adopting an assumed superiority and have forgotten about basic human values such as tact, sensitivity and understanding?
-
Y so sensitive??? The world got bigger problems than you going around suspecting ppl being racist to you....
As long as the offended ones dun feel offended....there will be no racism -
However "developed" our country is (or any other countries), there are bound to be some traces of Racial Under-currents.
Fos instance, I personally DO NOT mind getting into an elevator filled with Malays, but I might think twice about an elevator full of Indians. By saying this, I do not imply that I hate or discriminate Indians. It's just that I cannot stand the strong scents or fragrances they use. Some, with lack of tact will say some races are 'smelly'.
Of course, there are people who do have racial problems, but I believe in Singapore, these Racists are small in numbers. Small and "quiet". -
u mean small, "quiet" and nodding?Originally posted by ShutterBug:...these Racists are small in numbers. Small and "quiet".

Smelly people regardless of race should be avoided.
I do that to anyone be it a indian/malay/chinese -
when idiots come to stupid conclusions because of certain coincidences trouble brews. i wonder how this twit became a teacher..hmm.. racial harmony is racist instead of looking upon everyone as humans you divide them.
-
everyone should be wary what they do or say now with what is going on at south thailand and europe.
there are bound to be people who will try to stir up emotions. -
but the 2 ppl din do anything to the lady in the lift? yet she still complain? too free isit?Originally posted by Rahmania:no one will complain if u dnt do anything to them. itis pricks like u who piss others ...just like them the bloggers
maybe the man don wanna be accuse of molesting her. and i think lucky he din get in the lift with her else sure kena accuse 1. din get in already kena accuse of recist liao. -
hanor, let her to have the WHOLE lift to herself she also want to complain.........Originally posted by dzylim:but the 2 ppl din do anything to the lady in the lift? yet she still complain? too free isit?
people are too sensitive nowadays~!! -
Well maybe it has nothing to with him/her being malay ! Frankly, I am a singaporean, after all these years growing up in a multi-nationality environment , we already grown unconsious of what race is which. But of course there are alway those few who still cannot let go, and somehow they are alway the one complaining about it, for they just put everything conveniently to race, and refuse to put blame to themself as a person.Originally posted by crazy monkey:Non-Malay won't get into lift with Malay. How civil are we if we can't be civil to fellow Singaporeans?

I have been teaching in an international school in a Third World country for almost two years now. Recently I was back in Singapore to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with my family and friends.
What I experienced on the morning of Hari Raya makes me question how civilized are we if we can't be civil to fellow Singaporeans.
On Nov 3 at Block 723, Tampines Street 72, I was waiting for the lift to send some cakes I had bought overseas for my fiance's family. A non-Malay man was also waiting for the lift but when the lift came, he refused to take it.
Inside the lift, I kept the door open when I heard someone rushing to catch it. As soon as she stepped into the lift, her body had an 'automatic repel' action, or should I call it 'allergic reaction' to seeing a Malay girl in baju kurung inside.
It caused her to bounce back outside. She shook her head vigorously indicating a change of mind to stand in the same lift with me. As I shut the lift door, I saw a smirk on the man's face as he sniggered and nodded in agreement with the woman.
I have been keeping myself updated with the news in Singapore. I am well aware of the convicted racist bloggers but personally I think enforcing the laws to combat racism is not enough.
I have mingled with friends from other races, religions and cultures since I was young. Right from pre-school to university, these friends had walked with me through obstacles and we understood one another despite our differences.
In a multiracial country like Singapore, it is not enough just to be tolerant. We also need to mingle with others before we can understand them.
I was really upset by what I experienced especially when I had just arrived in Singapore a few hours earlier. How can we get foreign professionals to come to our country when we drive away our own professionals by exhibiting such attitudes?
Third World countries look up to Singapore as modern and efficient. But really, how modern and civilized are we in Singapore when educated people behave in less than intelligent ways?
My experiences in the Third World country where I work have taught me the importance of culture and humanity. Having to work with people from diverse backgrounds and nationalities is an experience.
We have cultural exchanges on a weekly basis. We also emphasize lifelong skills and independence amongst our students. In Singapore, are we adopting an assumed superiority and have forgotten about basic human values such as tact, sensitivity and understanding?

I think the author must actually question herself/himself on how civil are him/herself instead. Because unknowingly herself/himself is the one that is bias but assume that the others are and blaming them !
In the situation, author say it clearly say he/she bring cakes !!! Maybe she bring so many boxes that people don't want to get in to crash the cakes as there is little space
Finally what type of cakes ? Well to her it may smell like heaven but to the rest it may be smell like hell ! Take singaporean for example we love durians, so unconsciously we are used to the smell , but for other foreginers , it smell so bad that they can vomit ! Think about it , even airline , mrt & bus banned durian, for the sake of others , does that equal to discrimination ? No it is being civil minded and take in consideration for others who may not share the same enjoyment taste and smell.
Clear this case reflect someone who instead of asking herself why ? asking is the cake favour too strong for others. Instead of being civil minded , he/she instead put the blame on others. Maybe he/she is the problem he/herself, alway blaming people for things first, don't solve the problem. he/herself has forgotten about basic human values such as tact, sensitivity and understanding instead. -
Considering that The Straits Times receives heaps upon heaps of mail to be published everyday, why would the editorial board choose this one particular mail?
Worse, the mail is based on the author's own perverted opinions. Or she is just being a plain paranoid lady? What conclusion can she draw from being in a Third World country?
The editorial board of The Straits Times are known to edit mails to be published. How much was edited out? The board should be taken to task when such sensitive issues based on a person's factless conclusion is published without much thought.
While the author's composition does not really come under the Sedition Act, it's a blatant attempt to stir things up. It does appear that while she has travel far and wide, her mind is as small as a frog living in a well.
Does this mean that the editorial board is immuned from the Sedition Act? I feel that they ought to be more responsible. -

I find this a bit too incredible... I've never ever seen anyone avioding the lift because of racial differences. Furthermore, we have been living in a multiracial society for so many years so much so that we seem oblivious to sitting beside/being with another person from another race. It is, honestly, hard to believe.Originally posted by crazy monkey:Non-Malay won't get into lift with Malay. How civil are we if we can't be civil to fellow Singaporeans?

But I have to agree that maybe racial discrimination is still around, but it is very minute and not that serious her in singapore. So i really don't think people will aviod the lift just because of a malay woman unless she is up to something or for some specific reasons -
i find the whole thing an exaggeration.
