Following a very heavy downpour yesterday, a Sheng Siong supermarket Marsiling Drive ended up being flooded.
People were seen sitting on ledges to avoid the flood, a staff member was seen with her feet wrapped up in plastic bags to avoid getting her shoes wet.
This is not the first time the supermarket has experienced flooding following heavy rain, it was previously reported that the outlet was also flooded on 29 March following unrelenting rain.
A netizen shared how a guy shared his bigoted views about nursing and relentlessly mocked NUS nursing students.
The guy said:
“Nursing need degree meh?”
“I have a friend in nursing, I always ask him why he like to clean old people’s sh*t.”
You can read the netizen’s full post below:
“Guy with superiority complex and no EQ i met at work kept mocking nus nursing was working part time and a guy i met for the FIRST TIME introduced himself as a republic poly student studying business.
After learning that I’m studying nursing in nus he proceeded to insult me incessantly even after I expressed discomfort. “nursing need degree meh” “i have a friend in nursing I always ask him why he like to clean old people’s shit”. These were some of the insults.
I took offence and walked out since I knew there was no point educating a bigot. I wish there was more awareness on nus nursing.
We have stellar students enrolled here and the job scope of a nurse spreads well beyond cleaning people’s faeces.
The career offers clinical, management, research and informatics track.
The starting pay of degree holders in nursing is 3.5k-4k not including bonus.
We didn’t study hard, got good grades just to choose a course that only “cleans old peoples shit”.
I guess his insults really show how much he needed to put others down to feel good about himself.”

An Indian girl shared her experiences growing up with racism.
She wrote that when she was at RGPS, she remembered being called a “black monster” by a group of Chinese girls who ran away in tears, screaming because she stared at them.
She also shared that a girl looked her dead in her eyes and told her “I don’t need an Indian to tell me what to do”, after she tried to explain to her what the teacher was saying.
Soon, the girl went to Secondary School and she thought things would change.
She shared that when she bought a plate of Chee Cheong Fun and poured the sweet sauce over it, a classmate laughed at her and said “you’re so lucky.”
The girl then asked “why?”
To which the classmate replied “if you spill the sauce on yourself, no one will notice, it’s the same colour as your skin hahaha.”
She wrote that she is now in JC, and is still facing the same racism.
She shared that during her 3rd day of orientation, she was called a “black girl” by a boy she had never met before, who explained that it was because he didn’t know her name.
