Send them home

The police have completed their investigation and 28 foreign workers had been charged in court for rioting. Another 53 are waiting for deportation. Some were given warnings. This is the end of the first chapter of this nasty incident. Hopefully there is no need to open a few more chapters and followed by a sequel. The accident that caused the death of the foreign worker by a bus is still under investigation and this would ensure the story would not end just yet.
 
There were comments that our laws may not have been fair for not giving the foreign workers due for deportation a fair hearing. But our laws do not provide that comfort. The arrival of foreigners to work here is on their free will, like someone accepting a job offer voluntarily. The owner of this land has the same right to ask the foreigner to leave without the need to give a reason, or like an employee resigning from a company without the need to give a reason.
 
Under the Immigration Act, we do have a provision ‘that someone has acted contrary to our interest or public security or safety, to ask them to leave.’ Throwing the book to the foreign workers may appear to be harsh as these are people from different countries, different culture and different socio economic background. They could be behaving normally as rioting is normal to them in their country. But this does not mean that we have to accept their normal and to tolerate their wildness and lawlessness. They have to accept what is normal to us, to be civilized, to learn what modernity is all about and the social norms of a developed country. We must not go down to their level.
 
This also does not imply that people in developed countries, like ours or the west, would not behave like animals. The aggressive and boorish behaviour of some foreigners that are in the PME levels have been in display many times, with Sinkies on the receiving end. The Law Minister should make use of this same Immigration Act to send those unruly and uncouth animals home as well. We must apply the Act fairly across the spectrum of people regardless of their income and appointments.
 
Send them home if they are nasty to Sinkies. This is our right ya? We need to make an example out of some foreigners that think they own this country. Start by sending the cyclist in Vivo City home. No reason is needed. That will send a message to the hooligans in suits that they are also hooligans and will be dealt with like hooligans. We do not have to live with monkeys.
