STOMPer KW was left aghast when a member of staff humiliated him
for taking a photo at an event where sexy local songbird, Sing Shi
Xin Hui (石欣卉), was performing.
When KW pointed out that he was merely using his camera phone to
snap a photo of the singer, the lady who confronted him told him
that photographs were not allowed since the singer was wearing a
short skirt.
She also added that only professional photographers hired by the
company were allowed to take pictures of Sing’s public
performance.
An angry STOMPer KW says:
“I was seated at the front table near the stage for the Old Chang
Kee corporate event.
“It was Sing, Shi Xin Hui’s turn to sing a song on the stage. I
took out my Nokia N82 and took a photo from where I was
seated.
“Immediately, a very short lady with short hair, dressed in a black
shirt and jeans confronted me, telling me that photographs were not
allowed.
“I pointed out that there was someone standing right beside me, who
was using a high-precision DSLR camera.
“To this, she replied that he was the company’s official
cameraman.
“Furthermore, Shi Xin Hui did not want people to take photographs
near the stage as she was wearing a short skirt."
“In the first place, shouldn't the artist have been advised to
dress more appropriately for the corporate event if she herself was
conscious about the length of it
“If a lady enters the MRT in revealing clothing, can her boyfriend
scold other people for looking at her or tell them not to? Or
should he remand her for dressing that way in the first
place?
“When I went to another shopping centre, there was the Man Hunt
2010 competition going on.
“The guys had to appear in their underwear and yet nobody stopped
me from taking photographs.
“The bottom line is that it is the person's own responsibility when
presenting themselves in public. Please don't blame others for your
own willingness to reveal anything.
“Based on these, shouldn’t the company’s photographer also be
prevented from taking pictures of the singer upclose?
“What sort of double standard is this? It was embarrassing for her
to say that to me in front of so many other guests.
“I had no intentions of taking upskirt photos or whatever her
twisted mind imagined.
“I also saw many other people taking pictures with their phones so
what did the woman mean when she confronted me for using
mine?
“Another member of their staff also told me that it was no big deal
as I was taking the picture from my seat and not right in front of
the stage."
