Spoiled Girl Mistakes Malay Lady At Library For Indon Maid

Netizen Faizah Zakaria shared a bad experience she had at the library when a spoiled child treated her as if she was a maid just because of her skin colour. This is not the way for a child to behave towards our Malay Singaporean brothers and sisters.. The parents should educate the child not to treat others like slaves. Let’s share her story and condemn discrimination.

“I was sitting in the children’s section of the library reading a book to my (Chinese-looking) nephew when a little Chinese girl interrupted us. “Excuse me,” she said imperiously. I looked up. “Here,” she said pushing a plastic wrapping into my hands. Then she walked off without another word to join her mother who was texting busily a few steps away.

I was quite stunned to realize that she expected me to throw away her rubbish for her. Okay, maybe she had not meant to be offensive and thought I look like an Indonesian maid or something. Still, when is it ever acceptable to zero in on the only brown-skinned person in the library (excluding the officers) and expect her to take care of the trash? Even if I were a maid, that doesn’t give some random kid a right to do so, especially when the rubbish bin is a only a few steps away. It is not okay to expect strangers to pick up after you whether they are Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Filipino, Indian or Martian.

Have a happy racial harmony day tomorrow, Singapore. We have some way to go.”

Man Left With Gashing Wound After Seat Gives Way At Changi Hawker Centre

Stomper Rizuan was left with a horrible wound when the stool he was sitting on at the hawker centre gave way.

He shared with Stomp the horrific incident that happened on Jun 26, at about 7pm at Changi Village.

He said in a phone interview:

“Went to Hawker Centre to break fast. Upon sitting on one of the seat, the seat gave way resulting in me falling backward and having a deep cut on my left calf.

“The top part of the seat fell off, my left calf was stuck on the metal part as it was trying to prevent me from falling backward.”

The result was a horrific wound that was 10-cm long and left Rizuan bleeding profusely.

The photos he sent show a shocking amount of blood on the floor.

He continued:

“The stall holder from the Nasi Lemak stall and some members of the public came to help me.

“I am still under hosptalisation leave. I am not allowed to walk now.

“I am going back in four days to check up on my leg.”

He added that he was concerned about a public safety issue, for the seats were apparently glued on and not nailed.

“The seats are glued, not nailed, it is not safe.

“This time it happened to me, next time it could be children, pregnant women or old people. You will never know.”

Rizuan feels that this is an issue that needs to be looked into.

He is also currently still looking for a lawyer and legal advice to see how he could proceed on claims.

Doctor Fails To Escape Jail For Molesting Patient

Medical doctor Winston Lee Siew Boon, 71, failed to escape jail for molesting a patient on two occasions after the High Court yesterday dismissed his appeal against his conviction and a 10-month prison sentence.

Justice Chan Seng Onn found the woman’s testimony was “completely consistent internally” and that she had no motive to accuse Lee falsely of touching her breast.

On the other hand, Lee’s testimony was “beset with inconsistencies” and far less logical than that of the woman, said Justice Chan as he upheld the conviction.

In rejecting Lee’s appeal against the sentence, Justice Chan noted that the general practitioner – who is also known as a motoring writer – had abused his position of trust as a medical practitioner.

Lee was “particularly cunning” in disguising his act of molestation as part of his explanation of a potential medical problem while examining the patient, said the judge.

The woman trusted Lee and even gave him the benefit of the doubt after the first incident, he noted. “It is loathsome that he did not relent and tried it again by molesting her twice on the second occasion.”

Lee, a doctor for 40 years, was allowed to start serving his jail term on Aug 17 and was released on bail of $15,000.

He had asked for time to transfer his 70,000 patients to other doctors, make caregiving arrangements for his stroke-afflicted wife and undergo a medical check-up.

Lee was 67 in June 2011 when the woman, 34, a medical products sales representative, went to his Bukit Batok clinic to do an HIV blood test. After her blood was drawn, she complained of nausea and flatulence and Lee told her to lie down on the bed.

She then told him she had chest pains and asked if she could continue to exercise.

Lee put his hand under her bra and squeezed her breast as he told her she could exercise as long as she did not feel pain there.

She brushed it off as part of the check-up, thinking it was the doctor’s way of showing the location of her heart.

Four months later, when she saw him for a sore throat and to discuss weight management, he groped her breast twice. She was confused but made a police report after checking with her boss and a female doctor on whether Lee’s actions were appropriate.

Lee’s version was that he had placed a clenched fist over her breastbone to show where she would feel chest pains.

Erwin Dawson Nak PR Malaysia Kerana Tertarik Dengan Kebebasan Mempraktik Islam

PETALING JAYA: Pelakon baru yang berasal dari Singapura, Erwin Dawson berhasrat untuk berhijrah ke Malaysia selain mahu mendapatkan taraf Pemastautin Tetap (PR) di negara ini apabila layak kelak.

Pemilik nama sebenar Mohamed Erwin Shah Evan Dawson, 26, itu berkata, dia tertarik untuk menetap di Malaysia kerana berasa lebih bebas untuk mengamalkan ajaran Islam berbanding di negara asalnya.

“Sejak beberapa bulan tinggal di negara ini saya tertarik dengan komuniti Islam di Malaysia yang berbeza daripada negara asal saya.

“Sebagai seorang Muslim saya ingin berada dalam komuniti yang membolehkan saya mengamalkan agama saya tanpa sebarang sekatan dan itu adalah faktor utama mengapa saya ingin memohon menjadi rakyat negara ini,” katanya kepada mStar Online.

Bagaimanapun kata Erwin dia sedar bukan mudah untuk mendapatkan PR dan perlu tinggal di negara ini sekurang-kurangnya lima tahun sebelum membuat permohonan tersebut.

Erwin memberitahu dia tinggal di negara ini sejak November tahun lalu.

Erwin semakin selesa bergelar pelakon di Malaysia.

Dalam pada itu, jejaka kacukan Melayu Singapura dan New Zealand ini berkata, keluarganya juga tidak menghalang dengan keputusannya itu memandangkan jarak kedua-dua buah negara tidak jauh.

“Jika diikutkan sejarah bapa kepada ibu saya berasal dari Perak tetapi saya tidak pernah ke sana kerana semua ahli keluarga telah berpindah ke Singapura jadi bukan sesuatu yang pelik apabila saya ingin berhijrah ke Malaysia.

“Mungkin ada saudara-mara jauh yang masih tinggal di sini tetapi tidak pernah mengenali atau berjumpa dengan mereka,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Erwin berkata, dia ingin meneruskan karier lakonannya di Malaysia selepas melihat peluang untuknya mengembangkan kerjayanya sangat besar.

“Alhamdulillah setakat ini saya gembira dengan perkembangan kerjaya saya di Malaysia dan kepercayaan pihak produksi memberikan tawaran juga cukup baik.

Bagaimanapun kata Erwin, dia berharap dapat membeli sebuah kereta dalam masa terdekat bagi memudahkan dia berulang-alik ke lokasi penggambaran memandangkan ketika ini terpaksa berharap kepada krew produksi.
