‘Singaporeans should treat foreigners the same way that they want to be treated when travelling overseas, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on Friday night.’ Asiaone online
The heading above (“Foreigners: Treat them as ‘you want to be treated’”, SPH’s Asiaone) is quite misleading as the meaning is not very clear. Is it a message to foreigners or to Sinkies reminding them to treat ‘them’ well if they want to be treated well?
Take it as a message to Singaporeans, that they must treat foreigners well if they want foreigners to treat them well. Is there a meaningful relationship? Ahem, should ask an Angmoh for his opinion.
Eng Hen in the same article when he addressed NUS staff and students also added that Singaporeans are extremely generous to the foreigners here. If his theory is correct, then the foreigners should reciprocate by treating the Singaporeans well. The truth is that the foreigners despised the Singaporeans, insulted the Singaporeans, threatened and even beat up Singaporeans when they felt like it. Not only that they took the jobs from Singaporeans, they cheated and conspired to get rid of Singaporeans in the workplace so that they can bring in their village friends.
Why is it that Singaporeans are so generous to foreigners here and still kena bashed and discriminated by foreigners? If foreigners could treat Singaporeans so badly in Singapore, what are the chances of them treating Singaporeans well overseas? Would some PhD students want to conduct a research on this to prove that this theory is workable, that this is a quid pro quo thing? Or shall I conduct a survey to ask the experience of Singaporeans when they were overseas or their interactions with foreigners here? How many Singaporeans have had bad encounters with foreigners here and overseas?
Singaporeans have been most gracious and kind to foreigners to the extent of being seen as meek and stupid. That is why they deserved to be walloped and threatened by foreigners right in their home country. And for those who lost their jobs to foreigners and been cheated or discriminated by foreigners they deserved it for being so extremely generous to foreigners. They deserve to be boat people, to be booted out of their own country. The elite of this island would be mainly foreigners if they keep giving all the top jobs to foreigners.
The foreigners are not the saints that they are made out to be, and neither are they more talented. They would not treat you well because you treat them well. Superficially yes, but when comes to their vested interest, they will not hesitate to put a knife in the back of Singaporeans. They don’t call Singaporeans daft for nothing. It is a national character of a people brought up to be stupid no matter how high are their educational levels.
The SPGs are nothing. They only sleep with the foreigners. The most serious ones are the SPBoys. They brought in the foreigners to screw everyone here and pay them handsomely, look to them like gods.
