Today something happened at a carpark.
In short:-
A man - Indian, does not speak in Singapore Acent - honking in
his BMW 7 series - which then we should relate to him as being
rich, bullying a Singaporean Chinese lady in a car with comments
and bad remarks.
Story:
I was looking for a space to park my car whilst waiting to pick
up my daughter from her mandarin classes. There were plenty of cars
parked randomly. I moved my car so that i will not be blocking any
cars as it was a small carpark. There was continuous honking which
I looked around to see if I was blocking anyone of which i did not
see any problem.
Finally, I saw a car maneuvering out of which I thought he
needed more space, so i moved forward to enable his big car to get
out of the parking lot successfully. He lowered his windscreen and
was talking about something which i lowered mine to see if there
was an issue. He commented that when i was parking my car, i almost
hit his car and was reckless.
I replied - Uncle, No. I was never reckless. I saw your car
easily via the rear camera installed in my car. Why would i hit
your car? Rudely, he commented other stuff which i was not
interested as I did not want to be affected by such an incident
whilst seeing my daughter.
Point 1:- How I park my car or anyone parking their car - was
never for him to comment on our skills. He did it because i was the
only lady in the carpark. There were other bad mannered vehicles
parked in a more haphazard way - why was it not confronted but only
me? Commenting on my driving skills coz he is of a better skill
set? Based on what?
Point 2:- When i said no, i can see the all the cars via the
rear camera installed in my car - he refuses to acknowledge. Is it
because my car is of an inferior brand to his? It is common to have
cameras installed in cars - is it not? Why refuse to acknowledge?
Just want to lash out because i am of a different gender? Or am i
of a different race whom does not deserve equal respect? Men drives
better and can lash out at female drivers? Or is it because i am
just an auntie who is not sexy and does not drive an expensive car
so i cannot be a good driver? Or I deserved to be lash at by him?
Why would i hit into his car? If this happens, not only
will his car be damaged, so will my car. What kind of logic
is that? I am a stupid lady who will do that so that both our
cars will be damaged?
Conclusion:
He only bully ladies whom are of a fairer gender?
Action:
His rude and disturbing behavior deeply affected me that i have
decided to post in on the web about such bullying. I regretted not
taking a photo of him and his vehicle and post it online via social
media to prevent such sick behavior.
We Singaporeans have always embraced people from all nations as
we were taught to be understanding to all circumstances and live in
harmony. If foreigners who are MEN(in this case) find it difficult
to embrace this culture, they should not stay in Singapore at
all.
Do not come to Singapore thinking because you are wealthy and
can rule Singaporeans with whatever methodology which had been used
or practiced in your country. Show some respect to yourself if not
to others and do not disgrace Singapore with that type of attitude
and actions.
