  • Be calm and move away slowly with precaution
    Do not go near the animal or attempt to feed them.
  • Maintain a safe distance and do not corner or provoke the animal
    Eg. By flash photography when trying to take pictures of it.

KUMAR REPLIES RACIST WOMAN WHO CALLED OUT GRAB DRIVER

Singaporean comedian, Kumar, has called out a woman who goes by the name of Praise Wong on Instagram for calling out a Grab Driver based on the community he belongs to.

This was after Wong had tried to justify her comments on the driver by using Kumar as a comparison.

Kumar’s response

In respond to Wong, Kumar first stated that he is not against any community here.

He then replies to her with four pointers:

  • He does jokes on different communities but he is not against any of them.
  • The community which the driver is from is not poor, just go to Kembangan to have a look.
  • Grab drivers do not set the prices, but rather, Grab is the one that does so.
  • Be sensitive to all communities here, he loves all Singaporeans regardless of their beliefs and their spoken language.

Comments by Netizens

Netizens were quick to comment upon seeing the response by Kumar to Wong and here are some of the comments which were made:

  • Comparing herself to Kumar who has a license? LMAO
  • The difference between you and Kumar is that Kumar is actually funny but you on the other hand……
  • That is a joke? God, she could have done better. Not the same as Kumar. Don’t try so hard when you don’t have the talent.

Further remarks made by Wong

A few days after the said incident, Wong continued to make further remarks against the community in another round of Insta stories.

This time, she made a statement saying that:

“if they can’t be earning good money they are criminals“.

In her stories, she also claimed that she is actually very concerned about people from that community and started to come out with her own ‘policy’ in her bid to ‘solve’ existing issues.

RACIST WOMAN INSULTS GRAB DRIVER FOR ‘CHEATING’ HER

A netizen by the name of Praise Wong had posted a series of Instagram stories after she had accused a Grab Driver of allegedly cheating her.

The comments which she made on her Insta stories were full of ‘biased’ opinions against the Grab Driver and also the community he belonged to

What caused the insults

Wong had took a Grab one day and according to her, the driver, a Mr Abdul Aziz Bin Ahtam, had overcharged her on the ride by $7 as he was driving a larger vehicle (GrabXL).

This led to Wong saying that she rode a GrabXL on the previous day but was not charged the extra $7 in fares.

She then said that Grab had quoted her $13+ and started to call out the driver with expletives and even accused him for lying and cheating just for the tip and labelled him as ‘poor’.

On top of that, she even said that the driver insulted her back by calling her a ‘cheapo’ after she said that she was going to feedback to Grab about his behaviour and claimed that all her friends know her as a generous person.

She labelled his act of calling her a ‘cheapo’ as ‘libel’ and said that it was rude and disrespectful and should be fired for what he has done.

She also said that many people are dying to be a private hire driver and maybe he should not be having the privilege to earn this income.

She then tagged Grab in her Insta stories.

Grab reached out to her

Grab eventually reached out to Wong and provided her with a full refund, after initially replying to Wong’s Insta story.

A representative of Grab by the name of Nurul also emailed Wong with regards to her complain and said that it should not have happened to her in the first place.

Nurul also added that as a result of the driver’s actions, he has been ‘awarded’ a strike on his record and they will continue to monitor his behaviour to ensure that his behaviour does not repeat.

She added that if his behaviour start repeat, they will take further disciplinary action against the driver.

A sum of $18.30 was also refunded to Wong.

Wong also praised the customer service which she received from Grab.

Gets called out for her remarks towards the driver and his community

Despite getting what she wanted in the end, Wong was flamed by her friends and followers on Instagram for the remarks she made against the driver and his community.

Even so, she defended herself by saying that she was an ‘angry B’ and that her remarks against the driver and his community were ‘justifiable’.

She then went on to say that if the driver belonged to another community in Singapore, she will also have insulted them based on their community of origin.

In saying so, she said that Kumar the comedian also does the same and if he can do so, she does not see a problem in doing so.

PRC HEALTH WORKERS BEAT DOG TO DEATH FOR FEAR OF COVID-19

Earlier, a video captured by a private surveillance camera was widely circulated on Chinese social media. Footage showed two workers in white protective suits chasing a dog in an apartment before they hit the dog on the head with a metal bar, and the dog screamed in pain and tried to flee.

The video sparked outrage from netizens, who accused epidemic prevention personnel of forcibly entering homes and killing animals without the consent of the head of the household. 

The dog could be heard screaming in pain in the video. (Due to the nature of the content, the video cannot be uploaded)

The owner has since published a Wei Bo post that went viral: (Here is a rough translation)

ello everyone, I am the female owner of the dog in the video of the epidemic prevention personnel beating the dog recently circulated on the Internet, my boyfriend (the male owner of the dog) ) is a confirmed case of asymptomatic infection reported by Daling Town, Huidong County, Huizhou City on March 2. He was quarantined in Huizhou on the morning of March 2. I am close and am currently in centralized isolation in other places.

irst of all, thank you for the dog who cares about the video. It is a three-year-old and three-month-old Samoyed. It is called Snowball, but its life will always stop on March 2, 2022. Yes, it was dead, beaten to death with a stick. We spent these two days and nights in endless regrets and pains. We raised a dog together for three years and three months, and he was already our family, but now he died tragically in his own home.
The process and time of the incident have been monitored as evidence.

Up to this moment, there is still no epidemic prevention personnel to inform me that the dog has been disposed of, and I don’t know where the dog’s carcass has been taken.

The incident has happened, and my dog ​​can’t come back from the dead. We cooperate with epidemic prevention and investigation. Under the condition that I promise not to spread rumors or lie, I hope to receive a positive response from the Huidong County Government of Huizhou City and give a reasonable explanation
