An incident that I saw on the bus on my way home today.
It is seriously a disgrace to Singaporeans!
Even though many of us may hate China people to be here in Singapore for various reasons, but I feel that we should be reasonable about it. Some China students I see in my course are really selfish, but I always know not to streotype all of them because there are nice ones out there. It really sucks to see Singaporeans openly criticize China people with such dismay.
The incident happened during peak hours when the bus was really crowded. When I turn around for more space, the action began with Singaporean & China sitting down side by side. Singaporean told China not to lean on him with a pissed off face. With a puzzled look, China tried to explain that it was a bus, but he was cut off by Singaporean rudely. I knew what China was going to say, but he never had the chance. Everyone knows it is unavoidable to knock or "lean" on the person next to you when the bus is moving. Therefore, I felt that China was reasonable. But Singaporean wasn't very happy as he felt that sitting in a bus is not an excuse to lean on him & asked China to look at the rest of us standing. I was right in front of them, keeping quiet. Singaporean continued scolding in a raised voice. Then China could not take it & asked what was his problem. And this was raised back by Singaporean. China really could not stand him & stood up, yet he made a wrong move. He mumbled a loud "Stupid ass". Seriously, if it was me, I would curse under my breath for such unreasonable treatment too, so I don't blame him at all. All Singaporean did was, "You're in my country now! If you're not happy! Get back to your country!"
Don't you think it was a disgrace to Singaporeans? Country should not be our excuse! How patriotic can you be when you insult others blatantly? I love Singapore, but I have to admit we don't have the most beautiful country in the world. We have to thank this kind of rude Singaporeans to show others the ugly side of us. Intolerable.
