Angry forumers from the PRC forum for mainland Chinese living
Singapore ‘Living in the Lion City’ (狮城生活) have vowed to rally
around their compatriot Zhou Hou and expose Singaporeans for making
similar racist remarks on SPH-owned forums.
24 year old Zhou Hou from Shandong province, northern China has
been called up for questioning by the Singapore police for
allegedly posting racist remarks about a Malay man on the forum on
9 June 2011 in which he boasted about beating him up after nearly
knocking him down when he was doing his delivery.
His comments were exposed by TRE, sparking a massive outcry from
its readers and prompted two of them to lodge separate police
reports against him.
An obviously irate PRC forumer 电玩巴士 started a thread in the
forum
calling for ‘unity’ to expose Singaporeans if Mr
Zhou gets punished:
“如果这位网友被判任何处罚，大家应该团结起来去揭发那些本地新加坡人的网络言论 stomp 和
omy上比比皆是!”
(Translated: If this forumer gets any form of punishment,
everybody should unite to expose local Singaporeans for making
similar remarks on STOMP and OMY)
His post were supported by most Chinese forumers with one of
them ‘geroo’ commenting that the Singapore government will not dare
to take action against Mr Zhou if he is a Singapore PR:
“先看看那位兄弟是PR或已成為新加坡公民. 如果是PR, 新國政府是不敢冒犯的. 新國政府只敢嚴懲己國公民而已,
對外國人呢, 總是從輕發落地. 所以呢, 最好是不要拿新國公民權, PR就夠了.”
Instead of getting agitated, ‘电玩巴士’ should be grateful for the
kind treatment given to Mr Zhou by the PAP police and media. His
name was not published in the papers and neither was he smeared by
SPH journalists.
In contrast, three Singaporean teenagers from Singapore
Polytechnic were arrested by the police ONE DAY after posting mild
‘racist’ comments on Facebook last year and their names were
splashed across the papers to humiliate them repeatedly to ruin
their future forever.
It is highly unlikely that Mr Zhou will be charged in court for
any offence as the PAP regime is often reluctant to take action
against foreigners.
When over 200 PRC workers protested outside the Manpower
Ministry last year over unpaid wages, the police stood idly by and
allowed them to make a din in a public place. Similarly, the police
dared not arrest a PRC family of five after they ‘hijacked’ a SBS
bus for five hours and even ‘escorted’ them down the bus after SBS
agreed to cater for a cab to send them home.
