Are Older Singaporeans racist towards Indians? If so, why?
We were at Ann Siang road shopping for some clothes. A really pretty navy blue dress caught my eye and asked the store clerk for that dress. He told me it’s 98 SGD which is okay, not too bad.
I said OK to the price and asked him if he had the dress in my size. He would ask me again,”Are you SURE that you want the dress, it’s 98 SGD. Very expensive.” I agreed once again.
He gave me the dress in my size and and then I proceeded to make the payment. I have 3 credit cards and 1 debit card with SGD on it.
I did not approve any of the credit cards for international transaction in case of theft and one of the credit cards has the same colour as the debit card and it’s quite easy to mix up the two.
I gave him the credit card and he told me that the payment was denied. I asked him to try once again and the transaction failed once again.
This is when I realise that I handed him the wrong card and apologise. He gives it to me and tells me,”I told you it was 98 dollars but you didn’t listen.” And proceeds to go to keep the dress back.
I stop him and give him the correct card to make the payment and left quickly. I was quite irritated at that point but didn’t say anything because I don’t like confrontations.
My family and I were at Maxwell Food Center. We went to multiple places to get food from because we wanted to try EVERYTHING. My dad and I queued up at Tian Tian to get some Chicken Rice.
We bought the ticket and my dad queued up at the pick up line. When he got the food, I went to help him to pick it up as we most likely would have more than 2 trays.
A man standing in the queue started screaming at me (he must’ve thought I’m cutting the line which is fair) but quieted down when he saw me help my dad.
As we were passing by, we heard the same man say Indians are so stupid and don’t know how to follow rules. Like???????? I did nothing to you man, and you even saw me help my dad, that comment was so unnecessary.
