I’m a resident of Macpherson living at Circuit Road but working at Old Airport Road Food Centre when I was being assaulted for no reason by a cleaner from China at Meridien Cleaning Service on 3 Apr 17.
I had asked her politely to help clear the soiled cups and dishes as it was fast accumulating and the birds would come and feast, defecating in the process which can cause cross contamination. This is also the case at most other Hawker Centres in MPTC.
However, I did not expect to receive a rude shock from her by cursing me to “have s*ex with my mother” which I found most insulting. Not satisfied, she then grabs the nearby bowls and utensils and threw them at me. I sustained a cut and bruises as a result.
I called but police said they can’t help me due to it being a non-sizable offence and NEA/MOM said they can only give a warning. I will have to pay if I wish to take this to a Magistrate.
I’m shocked firstly, of the way our Country is managed at the mercy of foreigners and lastly, by laws that are inadequate to deal with Public Order offences where money is the only way to secure Justice!
