Is there a country called Singapore?

Below is a comment left in a thread in TRE on the bullying of a young man by a foreigner titled ‘Abusive Caucasian in MRT train caught on video’. What happened was that a burly Caucasian was not happy with the words on a T shirt worn by the young man. Such things are very common in the West and our young are just imitating the fad. And the brute shouted, taunted and threatened to throw the young man out of the train. The small built local man was obviously unable to match the burly animal and kept quiet. When the brute moved towards the young man a local Malay man stood up to confront him. There was a heated argument and both were called up by the police.

There were many comments of outrage againt this foreign brute but with some silly comments implying that we should be nice to the brute as he is a darling of the establishment, invited here to help us and our economy. Here is one of the comments.

1stly, BRAVO to our Malay bro for standing up for hid fellow citizen. Anyone would be honored to have him as a friend.
NEXT: SHAME SHAME SHAME on;
1) The cowardly guy being bullied for not even defending himself. Useless.
2) The commuters who hide quietly in the face of seeing a moron bully another innocent human being, let alone citizen.
3) And OBVIOUSLY, this lower than gutter TRASH Ang Mo, who sounds either British or Aussie, for THREATENING to cause bodily harm to another without provocation. This is clearly a CRIME!!! WTF is the SPF gonna do about this , now that video evidence is shown.
There is something very GRAVELY wrong and anaemic with the Sinkie society here. It slowly resembling China where spectators would rather ignore pleas for help and cheer rapists raping victims than help. Signs of a fast dying nation….


What is disgusting is to see the frequent harassment by these foreign brutes with size advantage and a meek people that would just bent their heads in shame and waiting to be bashed. What happens to the pride of being a people of a nation? Or is there still a country called Singapore with proud citizens, or a failed state with a sick people that, as the above commentator said, resembled the pariah people of a China known as the Sick Man of Asia where its people no longer believed in themselves and their meekness only invited bashing from foreigners?

What is there to be proud of as Singaporeans when foreigners come here freely and feel so free to taunt, insult and bash the citizens? And where are the leaders to stand up for the citizens? Never heard of, not a word to defend the victims of foreigner bashing. They only have praises for the foreigners and would reprimand the people and demand the people to be nice to the bullies and thugs.

And some commentators rightly pointed their fear that the Police may file charges against the Malay man whom they regard as their hero while the brute would be let off. Why are the people thinking that things would turn out this way and our hero would be punished instead of being honoured? Wasn’t this a case of criminal intimidation by the foreign brute against a local? It would be a dark day of shame if the brute is let off and the local hero charged.

Our country, or shall called it a hotel, or a prostitute den, is sick. It can only get sicker by the day if nothing is done to stop the foreigners from bullying our people. We used to have the secret societies or commandos that would take on the rogues and thugs that bullied our people. There was pride, there was identity, there were Singaporeans. Now our people are left defenceless and being taunted, threatened and beaten in our very own country by foreigners acting as if they are above the law, in front of the public as if they are more equal than the locals.

What kind of shit country is this? Why do we need to have such a powerful defence force? Who are they protecting? What is there to be proud about this country? What are we celebrating this SG50 for, the new Sick Man of Asia, to be bullied and bashed around by foreigners invited here to have good jobs and a good life and treating bashing Singaporeans as a past time?

No need to plan forward. No need to think what would happen in 50 years time. The shit is all over the place today, now. If we cannot take care of the problems now, what is the use of planning and talking about how glorious the future will be?

This is home? Really?
