SECURITY AT GRANGE RD CONDO ALLEGEDLY TREATS “DIFFERENT RACES DIFFERENTLY”

A Tiktoker has recently uploaded a reel on her Tiktok platform of an alleged incident which happened at a Condominium at Grange Road on 26 Feb 2022.

In the incident, the Tiktoker had claimed that the security guard had targeted her and the children she was looking after for not wearing their masks properly but ignored all the people of White descent at the same place who were also not wearing their masks properly.

She further describes that the security guard belongs to the ‘boomer’ generation.

Details of incident according to Tiktoker

The Tiktoker added that when she was approached by the guard, they were the only people of Asian descent in the vicinity.

She pointed out that her child was just at the age of two and the girls were cycling which was considered exercising.

She had also made known to the guard that there were other people around who were also not wearing their masks properly.

According to the Tiktoker, there were three people of white descent who are adults and not wearing masks while they were not exercising, drinking or eating.

Security Guard allegedly snapped at them

According to the Tiktoker, when she asked the security guard if he was going to do anything about the rest of the people not wearing their masks properly, he allegedly snapped and them and told them to:

‘Just Cooperate’

Before he left the scene and while he left, he did not ask anyone else to wear their masks.

This led to the Tiktoker feeling ‘very pissed’ about the whole incident.

Comments by netizens

Netizens who saw the reel by the Tiktoker gave their inputs on the matter with many urging her to raise the matter up to the MCST of the condominium.

Some also said that they do not dare to offend the people of white descent as people of Asian descent are easier targets while some said that maybe the guard was just trying to protect her kids as the people of white descent were not complying.

Some also shared their own experiences with preferential treatment amongst different ethnic groups.

Here are some of the comments:

Bruuhhh sometimes they just target us because they think we easy target. I bet that short dog won’t dare say that to a 2m ang mo.
Maybe he received a complaint. If not, usually these guards won’t approach. They don’t even patrol 😅 like seriously …
Complain to management and if your friend has the app icondo put a post on there. take photos and post
That’s messed up. Yt guy here and was in Singapore last week. Forgot to put on mask at one point, was reminded, as I should have been. This is wrong.
Sorry this happened! Hope it’ll resolve soon. Gotta say tho watching the comments as a brown person who experiences this often, it’s very frustrating
not defending his actions but maybe the yt peps are not complying and he is probably trying to protect your kids from exposure? hence the mask to keep

UKRAINE FARMER STEALS RUSSIAN TANK, TOWS IT AWAY WITH TRACTOR

A video emerged online showing a Russian tank being towed away by Ukrainian farmer with a tractor in an attempt to purportedly steal it.

The humorous video was uploaded by a Twitter user named Arslon Xudosi, who posted it onto his Twitter account on 28 February.

A man in a black jacket was also seen in the video chasing after the tractor as it drove away with the tank in tow.

The running man isn’t believed to be a Russian soldier.

According to the Daily Star, the tank that the Ukrainian farmer was towing, is believed to be a Russian MT-LB, which is a multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armoured vehicle from the Soviet Union.

More videos then emerged online showing a host of other Russian tanks being towed away by other farmers all around Ukraine.

Netizens commended the Ukrainian civilians for their Devil-May-Care attitude towards the Russian invaders and taking the fight to them in the most unorthodox ways.

SCHOOL BOY ENGROSSED WITH PHONE WHILE CROSSING ROAD, NEAR MISS WITH MOTORBIKE

A video was seen uploaded onto social media of a school boy who was engrossed with using his phone and not keeping a lookout for vehicles while he was crossing the road at Block 261 Punggol Way.

Fortunately for the boy, the biker spotted him early and managed to sound his horn, slow down and stop before he reached the boy, who had already stepped out onto the road.

The biker also called out to the boy and asked him to pay attention when crossing the road and not to concentrate on his phone while he is crossing.

He said:

“Eh, don’t look down when you’re crossing the road don’t play with phone!”

Hopes parents educate children on road safety

The biker hopes that through this video, parents will do more in educating children on the importance of Road Safety.

He also hopes that pedestrians will not take roads which are not designated as a pedestrian crossing as a given that vehicles will always stop for them to prevent any accident from happening because in the end if something happens, the pedestrian will also be at fault.

WORKING 59 HOURS A WEEK NORMAL FOR PHV & FOOD DELIVERY PERSONNEL

WORKING 59 HOURS A WEEK NORMAL FOR PHV & FOOD DELIVERY PERSONNEL

A survey which was conducted yielded conclusions that Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) Drivers and also food delivery personnel who are delivering for Food Delivery application companies work about 60 hours a week and that is a norm.

The survey, which was done by the National University of Singapore’s Institute of Policy Studies found that nearly 29% of drivers of the 1,000 people surveyed worked more than 59 hours a week.

One quarter of the respondents worked for GoJek exclusively, while others also drove for Grab.

Many turn to driving or riding after losing jobs

Many in Singapore turn to driving a PHV or delivering food after they have lost their jobs and thereafter find it hard to get out of this industry.

Labour laws in Singapore only allows employees to work 44 hours a week and anything more than that would require overtime benefits but as these workers are not considered full time staff, they are not protected by this labour law.

Legislative changes are already being considered to provide protection for these workers who have contributed to the success of these ride hailing and food delivery apps like Grab, GoJek, FoodPanda and Deliveroo since the start of the pandemic.

Long hours worked to hit incentives

Workers are also often pressurised to hit the incentives given to them and without these incentives, it is hard to get a decent income at the end of the week or month.

To hit these incentives, drivers often have to slog for 14 to 15 hours a day.

Companies would often encourage the workers to hit the incentives and in order to hit these incentives, the companies also expect the workers to follow certain rules and criteria which is set by the companies such as not cancelling jobs and accepting all jobs to a certain percentage.

Many would leave if they were other job opportunities

Almost half of the respondents have expressed their intention to leave should they find a job opportunity outside and only 31 percent said they could land a job related to their previous job scope or their education level easily.

However, spending 60 hours a week behind the wheels already takes up a lot of time for skills building and career building and those with more qualifications slowly will find that they are falling behind their peers.

HELPER SCOLDED, MADE TO WAIT BY EMPLOYER OUTSIDE MBS DIN TAI FUNG

HELPER SCOLDED, MADE TO WAIT BY EMPLOYER OUTSIDE MBS DIN TAI FUNG

The said incident happened at the Marina Bay Sands (MBS), Din Tai Fung (DTF) outlet.

A netizen by the name of Joane saw a small sized lady sitting outside the outlet on the floor.

Figuring that she was probably waiting for her turn to be called, Joane went off and came back after checking the queue system online.

When she returned, she saw the same lady sitting on the floor but this time it was different as she saw another lady, presumably the employer of the small sized lady, coming out to ask for some items from her and even scolded her in a harsh tone.

It then dawned on Joanne that the small sized lady was not there to queue for her turn, but rather to wait for the employer and family to finish dining at DTF.

Went to check on helper

Joane went to check on the helper, and found out that she had not had her dinner and was waiting for her employer and family to finish theirs.

Thinking that she might not have money to purchase her dinner, Joane offered cash to the helper but was rejected.

They then went to BreadTalk to get some bread for her but she seemed too afraid to consume the bread, as if she was worried of the backlash she would receive from her employer.

However, she thanked Joane and showed a face full of gratitude.

In her story, Joane understood that the helper’s employer’s family already had 5 pax which is why she could not join them inside the restaurant but she thought that the employer could have done better by at least letting her wait inside the hotel room, or split tables inside DTF or at least let her sit at ToastBox while waiting for them.

Wished they could have done more to help the helper

At the end of the whole incident, Joane shares that she wished that they could have done more to help the helper but feared that the employer would scold the helper for receiving help from them.

She reflected and said that they were glad to have extended a helping hand to the helper and hope that she will not go to sleep tonight on an empty stomach or an empty heart.

Joane also wish that people would treat each other with respect and dignity just like the Confucian teaching of:

“Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you”
