For drivers who like to "step out of the car and settle" trivial issues, this is why it's not a wise idea.

Brave S'pore girl stands up for foreign worker who was verbally abused by racist uncle on bus -- while others simply kept quiet

Kudos to her :)

 

We have nothing against these foreign workers who come all the way here to work for a meager earnings to bring back home ... They work in construction industries where most Singaporeans wouldn't work ... They are mostly peaceful ppl :)

 

Good to see sensible Singaporeans around :))

I wish I got more balls.

 

Many months ago, my very first time I took a bus from the airport to downtown that needed to pass by Marine Parade just before Mandarin Garden. An Indian family came up the bus. I really got no idea if they are foreigners or locals but they spoke loudly like they own the bus.

 

The daughter probably late 20s or early 30s shouted at the guy sitting on the seat why he is not giving up his seat for her elderly father. The elderly father seems strong enough to stand and walk and travel. She kept going on, until the poor fellow just got up the seat and move to the back of the bus.

 

I always thought it is a privilege and not a right that some one had to give up their seat for anyone. But maybe I am wrong.

 

BTW, the rest of the passengers in the bus were shocked by the behaviour but there is no reason for us, the rest of the passenger to just keep quiet. My mistake.

 

 

 

Another trip to the airport, this time by silvercab, the driver very chatty, said he was a pai kia gone to jail before but now a new leaf. He said he try to avoid the foreign Indians. He said, these foreign Indians look down them as taxi driver and treat them dirt and order them around. On one occasion, he said, he told the foreign Indian, go and complain but please remember this is Singapore and NOT India.

 

I cannot verify if the latter is truth but interesting to see that there are issues on integration.

 

Anybody got similar experience, especially those Uber drivers here?
