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
