Several STOMPers have expressed anger over this insensitive
comment made on Twitter by a nurse. She had called a family 'orang
kaya baru' or 'newly rich' after they asked for donations to fund
their baby's overseas operation, only to have her pass away this
morning.
Baby Nur had been born with a rare heart condition, and her family
had requested for donations for her to undergo a heart transplant
overseas. She died suddenly this morning however, prompting the
woman's remark about the family becoming 'orang kaya baru', a Malay
term meaning 'newly rich people'.
STOMPers TwitterBoy, Zarabella, Dolly, Fiqa, Lydia, Atika, Shahaza
and Lela all sent in comments regarding her tweet.
TwitterBoy wrote:
"This girl has been trending on Twitter because of her heartless
comment about the Lil Nur death.
"She says, 'congrats to her parents for being the new org kaya
baru'. That means she is talking at Lil Nur's parents becoming a
new wealthy couple because many people donated to them for Lil
Nur's heart transplant.
"Lil Nur parents must be devastated at the news of their daughter's
death and this girl can still say these kinds of things about
her."
Zarabella wrote:
"Shame on you girl.
"For posting this on your tweet. You have no brain."
Dolly commented:
"Online, many have commented on her post about how rude she
is.
"We heard about little Nur has passed away.
"The sad part is that someone would have the guts to say something
like this online.
"I heard she worked as a nurse. We shall make a report to the
authorities for this post."
Fiqa wrote:
"Little Nur passed away this morning and this lady here this is
what she tweeted."
Lydia wrote:
"Look at what she said about little Nur.
"She mentioned about how Nur's parents are going to be the new rich
people, but come on, I'm sure Nur's parents will donate it back to
charity.
"I'm just so angry that she can say 'i told you so.'
"What! Ahh I'm just so angry i don't know what else to say. I just
want her to apologise!"
Atika also commented:
"Little Nur just left this world and here's a girl posting this on
Twitter.
"Why is she so heartless?!
"How would she feel if this had happened to her family
member?
"Come on , that strong little girl just passed away."
Shahaza wrote:
"This comment was tagged by a lot of people in facebook with
regards to this inhuman creature.
"Her comments about the parents of Lil Nur, who passed away this
morning, were embarrassing and uncivilised.
"This uncivilised woman is known to be working at SGH (Singapore
General Hospital) as a nurse.
"A lot of people from facebook tried to trace her account in
Twitter but it seems that her account is no longer active.
"She has brought disgrace to our Malay community. We demand that
she comes forward & apologise publicly, especially to Lil Nur's
parents for saying things like that about their loss.
"We really do hope this matter won't be taken lightly."
Lastly, Lela wrote:
"Hi! I am Lela.
"Nur passed away this morning and I find this twitter post very
disturbing.
"Nur had a rare heart condition and needed funds to get a heart
transplant. There were a lot of organizations helping out to help
her to get the money to have the operation done overseas.
"I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I find
this post unacceptable.
"She deleted it but I managed to get hold of it before she deleted
it.
"I heard this girl is working as a nurse and she should be mindful
of what she says.
"Please have some RESPECT for other people."
