I refer to the article: SINGAPORE KINDNESS MOVEMENT ON ANTON CASEY: WHERE HAS ALL OUR EMPATHY GONE?
William Wan, what you said is full of crap and what you didn’t say is even crappier.
‘Kindness, Empathy & Graciousness’ are such very grand words you have used so indiscriminately on Singaporeans yet so sorely lacking to describe your paymaster.
Then again you are trying to put a spin on things, just like Ng Eng Hen preaching to us how we should treat foreigners the way we want to be treated.
What kind of kindness, empathy & graciousness are you talking about when PM himself publicily said that he is willing to sacrifice our Gini coefficient (measurement of the distribution of wealth among the population) to welcome in more wealthy foreigners?
It is precisely this type of greedy & selfish government and the flawed policies they have pushed that has brought about asshole foreign trash like Anton Casey today. He isn’t an exception, there are many like him here.
A combination of factors is what made Anton say those things:
1) A colonial & racist mindset of a superior white man in Asia
2) His stupidity & arrogance vs a timid self-defeated nation that keeps harping we lack talents.
3) An overly inflated sense of self-worth among foreigners from the repeated fawning of PAP that all of them are REAL talents and they are much needed.
4) How safe Singapore is & there is a set of rules for us and a different one for foreigners. Anton knows that Singaporeans are too law-abiding and will not take matters into their own hands and even when it comes to the law, he will also be protected by our government because they dare not offend his big brother government.
5) Money rules. The numbers of zeros in your bank account gets you better treatment than the colour of your IC. A rich blue or even no IC is superior to just an average pink one, you can hire lawyers and PR firm to advise & represent you.
William Wan, you said justice should be meted out. What concrete action & justice have the authorities taken up to now?
For the first couple of days when Singaporeans were boiling online so much so that it was even talked about in many of the world’s press, there was absolute silence and not even a squeak from our government nor their MSM.
Where was the empathy from our government for the trampled Singaporeans? Why was the government so passively quiet sitting on their ass and on the fence?
HRI KUMAR was so self-righteous in calling others fence-sitters but where was he on this? Why hasn’t he come out and made a stand?
Given the magnitude, publicity and for the sake of harmony in Singapore between locals and foreigners, must the authorities wait for someone to finally make a police report in order to take action?
Talk about calling themselves the cream of of the crop & paying themselves millions of taxpayers’ dollars.
SKM should know better that Kindness begets Kindness & The Law of Reciprocity.
William, go tell your PAP masters and ALL the foreigners to be kind first, Singaporeans will naturally reciprocate.
Kindness begets Kindness
