A Facebook post shared by Facebook user LG Han stated of an incident that happened at Restaurant Labyrinth located in Esplanade.
Here is the story:
So on our first day of reopening last night, this happened:
A couple with a reservation walks in, and my GM requested to see their vaccination status on their Trace Together App after doing Safe Entry Check In. The guy casually flashes the app and when asked to show it clearly and to refresh the app in front of us to ensure that it is not a screenshot, we realised that his status is not yet fully vaccinated as per the TT app.
We refused to admit them as it is against the law and my GM even empathised with him saying that he himself cannot eat out for now either as the law defines fully vaccinated as 14 days after the 2nd jab.
Upon being denied entry and informed politely by my GM that their reservation deposit will be forfeited, the guy immediately goes into a rage claiming
1) he made the booking before the new laws were passed (just to clarify: this is what he claimed, his reservation was in fact made on 8 Aug)
2)he did not know abt the 14 days window
3) said it was unreasonable that we will take his deposit yet refuse to serve him in the restaurant
and then proceeded to hurl profanities to my GM and another staff (the F word was used twice) and even mocked their intellect and threatened to go online to post abt the incident to let the netizens “decide” and demanded to escalate this to the GM of the restaurant (whom he was talking to all this while).
My GM and PA held firm and remained calm throughout the exchange and refused him entry of which I am truly proud of but I feel sad for that they had to be verbally abused just for abiding the law.
Dear all, I have heard that what my staff have gone thru ytd isn’t an isolated incident since reopening and that other restaurants have also had similar experiences with errant customers who tried to cheat the system and being nasty to the restaurant.
Please, this is not our fault, we are just following the laws to protect you as a diner amidst the pandemic and we truly want to create a safe environment for our guests and my staff.
The story haven’t end
After the man was denied entry he went to Google to give a 1-star review
Following the ‘explosion’ of the internet after an allegation was made against NAS daily about
The Commission on Human Rights – Bicol Region (CHR-Bicol) stated on Wednesday, August 11 that Louise Mabulo’s team is attempting to have Nas Daily founder Nuseir Yassin declared persona non grata(ban from the country).
Mabulo, the founder of the Camarines Sur-based cacao farming initiative Cacao Project, shared photos of her meeting with representatives from the Commission on Human Rights on Tuesday, August 10, to discuss the agency’s official investigation “on the recent issues surrounding the exploitation against me and the farmers here perpetuated by some vlogger.”
A petition has been started:
In the petition page it states: “Exploiting Indigenous Filipino culture and art for money. He clearly violated the IPRA Law (Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997) Republic Act No. 8371, which is a Philippine law that recognizes and promotes the rights of indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples in the Philippines.”
In her Facebook post she said:
Today’s meeting with the Commission on Human Rights Region V— their official investigation on the recent issues surrounding the exploitation against me and the farmers here perpetuated by some vlogger.
I did say I would not provide more statements on the matter to the general public, but glad to provide my statements for the official procedures and processes that are being taken to address this. The attacks against me are on social media, but my platform is real life— undeniable. Rest assured that actions are being taken to safeguard our people, and prevent further incidents like this.
This incident happened at Kallang Bahru in the afternoon, I caught my next-door neighbour directing their phone camera into our bedroom from their toilet’s window yesterday.
Initially, I shouted “stop peeping..” and I can clearly see the person at that unit shifted the phone a while before re-positioned it pointing towards my direction again. I immediately notify my husband and called the police immediately.
A male and a female is staying in that unit. When the police arrived about half an hour later, they did go over to the next-door unit. The police mentioned that the female occupant admitted that she HAD THE INTENTION to take pictures of me but never did.
The police mentioned they could not found any photos on their phone and hence there is no evidence to proceed. This was not their first time as she admitted that she took a video of my grandma without her consent on another occasion.
My grandma did not pursue it as she was not aware the action could be considered illegal. That unit has been harassing our unit and other neighbours on other issues as she thought they can get away with everything – apparently it seemed she managed to talk her way out every time. Any advices on how to bring justice to this issue?
Isn’t it illegal to “peep” or take pictures/videos of someone’s bedroom without consent (furthermore she verbally also admit the intention and I saw her doing it)? HELP please…
