PRC Launched Into Unprovoked Assaults Of Singaporean Lady And Screams Racist Vulgarities

Freaking mad woman.

I was jogging as usual along the school near my place when this mad Chinese woman pounced out of nowhere and slapped me twice. She claimed that I scolded her previously. Madness. I have never set eyes on her before. And I am not even in Singapore most of this and last year.And since she spoke in mandarin with a mainland accent, I told her I do not know any cuss words in mandarin to have said to her. Then she called me a racist name. Stupid. If I am not Chinese, would I understand the filth pouring out of her mouth??

Then she started screaming at me on and on about how Singaporeans are crazy. She wanted to hit me again and I started shrieking at the top of my voice for help for a whole good few minutes. Of course, this whole deserted area around the construction site has to be surrounded by her sort of Chinese.Nobody appeared until finally, a China man came to try to separate us. And he pulled me back from grabbing her. I was incensed. I don’t give two hoots if you both came from the same country.

Then she tried to walk away as I told her I was going to call the police. And she was still cussing Singaporeans as we both waited for the police to arrived.

I have no idea what she has against Singaporeans. Maybe somebody insulted her?

Madness. I will see her in court. I don’t give a crap about whether it’s a case of mistaken identity, racism or whatever.

My ear is still ringing, my cheek is swollen and left eye is still seeing stars. And my glasses are bent out of shape.

I stayed in Australia for one year, and nothing happened. I stayed out late there, and nothing bad happened.

I come back home to Singapore, and was minding my own business and this happened. I think Singapore is not safe anymore. How can it be when there are all these hooligans around?

Now I finally understand why a number of Singaporeans are against the influx of these sort of people. I didn’t use to be. Now, I really don’t feel safe with this sort of people.

And Singapore is not China, by the way. Don’t bring your uncouth ways here. You can come here and think that the Chinese here is your kind of Chinese. Some are, some are not. You should just stick with your sort. Violent, crazy person. Lunatic that think it’s ok to go around bashing people like it’s China.

I have friends from China, and they don’t behave like this person, People like that sure contaminates the broth.

I really feel unsafe. Not intimidated, just unsafe. The policeman sent me home and told me to carry my phone whenever I’m around the area. What has become of this country? What do I need to carry around to protect myself next time here?

Man Accuses Police Of Using Disproportionate Force On Him

Pinned on the ground, 21-year old Anderson Tan Lin He, struggled to breathe as he was also being held in a chokehold by a police officer.

Tan said he almost passed out of consciousness before other police officer arrived on the scene and he was released from the grip.

On 26 July (Sunday), Tan was walking in Bukit Panjang, heading towards Senja LRT when he was stopped by a police officer who had just alighted from his patrol vehicle.

According to Tan, the Chinese uniformed officer called out to him from the back, “Eh, you stop there.”

The uniformed officer, whom Tan approximate to be in his mid-twenties, then asked, “What is your problem?”

Tan, who told The Online Citizen (TOC) that he has had his fair share of brushes with the law, rebutted the officer by saying, “I can tell you my problem, but are you capable of solving it?”

The officer then asked for Tan’s identity card (ID).

Tan complied and handed it over to the officer.

While inspecting the ID, the officer asked, “Why you so guai lan [cocky, rude]?”

“I guai lan also never disturb anybody,” retorted Tan.

The police officer told Tan to show some respect for him.

“Respect police?” Tan said. “Basic respect you earn yourself one. If you want respect for yourself, you must respect others first.”

The argument went on for awhile and the officer got very agitated, according to Tan.

Tan then asked if the police officer was done with checking his ID and said he wanted his it back.

The police officer replied saying, “Wait, haven’t ok yet.”

Tan replied, “You want to wait until durian drop down is it?”

Tan said the officer responded immediately with vulgarity, and said that he was going to arrest Tan.

Tan questioned why he was being arrested.

The officer did not explain but instead pinned Tan down on the ground and handcuffed him.

The other police officer who was apparently was the partner of the first officer, proceeded to cable-tie Tan’s legs to restrict his movement.

The two officers who tackled Anderson to the ground and one of whom is choking Anderson.

After handcuffing the Tan, the Chinese officer wrapped his arm over Tan’s neck and choked him, making Tan grasp for air.

Tan’s friend, Dahnan, who was with him, asked the police to stop what was being done to Tan.

However, the police officer told him to “fxxx off”, according to Dahnan.

Tan said that he nearly blacked out twice during the 3-5 minutes ordeal and had saliva dripping from his mouth because of the chokehold.

It was only when two more police cars arrived at the scene that the two police officers release Tan from their grip.

One superintendent who was with the group of officers that just arrived, asked Tan what had happened.

The superintendent proceeded to cut the cable tie off Tan’s leg and asked that the latter be brought back to the police station.

Tan was subsequently charged for disorderly behaviour and was kept in detention overnight at the Jurong Police station.

He was later released on $5000 bail.

Tan told TOC, “How can a police officer arrest someone by choking his neck? Shouldn’t he just restrain the hands?”

He said that if the other police officers had not arrived on time, he might have passed out or even died as a result of the chokehold.

Dahnan asked how police officers could behave in such a manner, and use disproportionate force against suspects.

He also questioned the police officer’s vulgar language. TOC wrote to the police on 2 August about the incident but has yet to receive any response from the police.

TOC understands that the police officer who restrained Tan with the chokehold has apologised to him in person since.

However, the charge against Tan for disorderly behaviour still remains.

On 2 April this year, a man claimed that he was injured by a group of plainclothes police officers after he flipped the identification card of one officer who was taking down his particulars.

Read here: “Man claims to be injured by plainclothes officers after asking to verify police identity”

Mr Lim Chin Huat, 40, filed a police report on Saturday, 4 April, against the group of officers after sustaining multiple injuries from their actions.

Mr Lim was later called up to help with the investigation but there has been no further updates from the police on the case.

TOC Ordered To Take Down Article

Socio-political blog The Online Citizen (TOC) has been ordered to take down an article again.

The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) issued a take-down notice to the site for an article titled, “Severe consequences for a PAP majority with its underground city for 10m population”.

It was written by a “concerned Singaporean” and published last Monday (Jul 31).

This is the second time in about seven months that the AGC is citing the Protection from Harassment Act against TOC, according to a post on the site yesterday (Aug 5), written by executive editor Terry Xu.

The post had the headline “AGC threatens to use anti-harassment act on TOC – again”.

In a letter received by TOC on Wednesday afternoon, the AGC said the author of the article made a “patently false statement, namely that monies raised from the issuance of Singapore Savings Bonds will be used to finance the construction of an underground city for a population of 10 million”.

This letter was reproduced in full on the TOC site.

In the letter, the AGC said there was no plan to build a city or residential developments underground to accommodate a “10 million population”.

Underground space has been developed for infrastructure such as MRT rail lines, utilities and storage spaces, it said.

“This is intended in fact to prioritise and maximise surface land to create a good environment which meet the needs of our people and their families for work, live and play.”

The AGC also noted that TOC did not check with the Ministry of National Development before publishing the article, and requested that TOC either remove the false statement in the article or include an AGC notice as a preface to the article.

It added that if TOC did not comply with the request by 6pm Wednesday (Aug 5), it would take out an application under Section 15 of the Protection from Harassment Act to obtain a court order restraining further publication of the statement.

As of Wednesday night, the AGC notice was found at the top of the article which AGC had issue with.

TOC was recently issued a take-down notice for publishing a letter from teen blogger Amos Yee’s lawyer Alfred Dodwell, which was deemed in contempt of court.

Nightclub Boss Jailed And Fine For Employment Offences

A nightclub boss was jailed for 16 months and fined $35,000 on Tuesday for offences involving 17 foreign workers from the People’s Republic of China.

Lim Leong Chye, 50, pleaded guilty to three charges of illegal importation of labour, four of receiving kickbacks and three of instigating another person to submit false information to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

Another 29 charges were taken into consideration.

The managing director of Club De Colors solicited payments of between $460 and $10,000 from the foreign workers as a condition of their employment in his clubs.

Lim, who is also the manager of Club GMT, additionally obtained work passes for 11 foreign workers and subsequently told them to find their own jobs in Singapore.

He further instigated 33-year-old Sim Chee Kiang to furnish false information to the authorities in the application for work passes.

Sim, who is the sole proprietor of Club GMT, will be punished separately.

The MOM said it will take stern action.

“The circumstances of this case are aggravating,’ said director of MOM’s foreign manpower management division Kevin Teoh.

“There was no work for the workers, monies were collected, and in some cases, thousands of dollars were handed over.”

Employers found guilty of bringing in foreign workers without the intention to provide work for them will face a mandatory jail term of between six months and two years, and a fine of up to $6,000 for each worker issued with a work pass.

Low Thia Khiang To Contest In Aljunied GRC

The Secretary-General of the Opposition Workers’ Party (WP) Low Thia Khiang has confirmed he will defend his seat in Aljunied GRC for the upcoming General Election.

“I appreciate very much the residents of Aljunied who have given us a chance to serve, who have responded to the call to move Singapore towards a First World Parliament,” he told reporters before his Meet The People session in Hougang on Wednesday (Aug 5).

He said he is “happy” to see that the Government today is “more responsive”. “There are many policy U-turns being made for the benefit of the people and I want to continue to serve residents of Aljunied GRC and I’m grateful for their support,” Mr Low added.

Aljunied GRC is the only Opposition-run GRC in Singapore. In 2011, the WP won 54.7 per cent of the votes in the General Election, versus the ruling People’s Action Party’s 45.3 per cent. The WP team there includes party chairman Sylvia Lim, and MPs Chen Show Mao, Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap and Pritam Singh.

Mr Low added that it is difficult for the party to move. “Where else can we move? Our base is here. We don’t have the resources to go as far as the West or all over Singapore,” Mr Low stated.

“We make good use of our resources to provide a choice to Singaporeans and to build up a credible Opposition over time.”

When asked if the upcoming election will see the current WP team of Aljunied MPs intact, he said: “We will give you more information about the candidates and all that so let’s be patient about it. But I will stay.”

He added that the WP would still like to avoid three-cornered fights if possible as it is a “waste of resources”.
