Okay, long time no blog and i'm infuriated enough to need to release my anger.
I really can't take it that singaporeans keep asssociating the foreign workers as criminals. omg! that's so ancient thinking. we are supposed to be first world countries but have behaviours like that.
Okay my friends would know me that i have a particular strong dislike for people from a particular country because of their typical general rude, super kiasu and no social courtesy manners. But for the foreign workers from India and Bangladesh.. except the fact that they always hover at mrt or bus exit without moving in (but that behaviour come from local also), genearlly i find them super polite nice and well behaved.
When is the last time do you hear a crime by them against a local. If there's any crime at all comign from them, that's usually between themselves. I remmeber in my old neighbourhood, at one point of time, there was a lot of construction going on for the then-upcoming condos. My area being hawker centre and hdb area, becomes an attraction for them. The thing is, they are hardly rowdy at all. And now and then as u walk near them, and they accidentally bump into you on your shoulder or something, they immediately go "sorry sorry" in a super apologetic sincere humble manner, something locals hardly do at all.
And days when i go home very late at night, i find their prescense reassuring that at least there are other living souls around. Basically the only thing they do is gather together and talk.. which is fine especially they are living in a foreign land.. all they do is turn aroudn together and stare/look. What harm is that? what nonsense about women being unsafe! bull shit! never a day have i felt unsafe. In fact i rather have them around then some leary old man.
Stop looking at these folks with coloured eyes. A lot of them are really well behaved people whom like the straits times article on 9th sept say, they are more afraid of us than we of them.
