I hate to admit I am racist, but unknowingly I think I am.
This morning I saw an 'Ang Moh' on business clothes cycled along
Holland Ave, my first thought told me oops he is a green
environmentalist. He cycles for somehow it may help to green the
earth.
When my bus travelled along North Buona Vista Road, I saw an
Indian cycling, oops my first thought told me life must be tough to
him, he must be trying real hard to save every pennies.
Oops, why for the same event, it triggers different thought?
Another incident happened in the new NTUC Holland Drive. 2 weeks
back I saw this 'Ang Moh' arranging (merchandising) those nuts
(cashew, pistachio from NATURE WONDERS). My first thought was this
lady 'Ang Moh' probably owns the distributorship and now helping
her staff to merchandise her items, this lady boss was so
considerate in rescuing her colleagues from the tight CNY
schedules.
After CNY I met the lady 'Ang Moh' again, she now don the orange
'NTUC ' t-shirt, oops she was a staff with NTUC.
I chatted with the aunty cashier, and was told that she was a
temp worker in the supermarket.
Oops times change! Globalisation is now at my door step! Me no
longer competing with the Asians, me now got to compete with the
Ang Mohs! I need to build up my muscles strength else I doubt I can
even stand a chance now in competing for a job as a merchandiser in
our home ground, NTUC.
Well done NTUC, you are able to both bring in the foreign
talents and bring down the prices at the same time, I salute
you.
