Singaporean event goes viral: Protest with curry

dragg SG

if u were a malay, can i request u not to cook sambal coz it itches my nose Laughing

pls cook only wen I am out

if you do that we will sort it out ourselves. we can mediate, fight, go to court etc. right? will anyone bring it up and make it an issue like the above case? no right?

why? all because people are unhappy with foreigners.

like i said above, we dont know the details of the mediation. why kick a big fuss?

mancha SG

we all dont know the details.

why let your imagination get the better of you?

I don't think TODAY paper is way off.

"According to a report in the Today newspaper on 8 August, the family of new immigrants could not stand the smell of curry. They reportedly told the Indian family, "Can you please do something? Can you don't cook curry? Can you don't eat curry?"

After mediation at the Community Mediation Centre (CMC), the two families reportedly reached a compromise. The Indian family agreed to cook curry only when the family of Chinese nationals was not home. In return, the Indian family wanted their neighbours to give curry a try."

Really the CMC should give the PRCs a lecture.

Aneslayer SG

i agree the chinese involved is wrong.

the report says the mediators have helped both parties reached an agreement. and the matter ended there. and it should end there.

why bring up the matter and stir up negative sentiments? how does it help anyone at all?

why drag the issue further by having a protest, delicious or otherwise?

its just another excuse to complain about the influx of foreigners.

I see it with different perspective, the people unite somewhat to make a point because of this issue. What is better than having a common "enemy" to bring unity?

you need both parties to agree in any mediation. the mediators at CMC cant forced the indian family to compromise can they?

why are you people complaining even though they have compromised?

"why? all because people are unhappy with foreigners." - tats an overstatement

the fact is the mediator asked the home owner to give way to something they have been doing in their entire life

can u do the same?

the homeowner compromised didnt he? if he chose to compromised then its nobody else's business right? if he thinks its unreasonable then why compromised?

to answer your question - i find it unreasonable. so i wont compromised. i will continue cooking curry anytime i want.

but thats not the issue now. the issue is they reached a compromise. so its none of anybody else's business!!!

not on the compromising but on how the issue was handled.

The mediators failed. This can be plainly seen.

Don't assume the Indian and PRC parties are of equal temperment.

The solution to the dispute is unacceptable, we expect the mediators to arrange an equitable solution between unequal parties.

How do you cook curry when the neighbours are not in? Should the neighbours come back before the curry is cooked, than what abort the cooking? Can the Indian request the PRC not to return home because they are cooking curry? What sort of mediation would that be?

even if its unacceptable its none of our business isnt it?

the parties involved agreed to a compromise but parties not involved kick a big fuss.

it doesnt sound weird to you??

dun u think its tongue-in-cheek to ask?

jmstar~ SG

why are you people complaining even though they have compromised?

Why are you so against people who are not happy with the compromise?

Did it not cross your mind that this compromise is unreasonable and this will pave way for more bully from the foreigners?

Or is any of the PRC family involved your girlfriend or good friend that you are doing your best to defend them?

Since you said that it is also none of your bloody damn business, why are you so fierce and adamant to keep siding the PRC?

YOu are a shame to Singaporean! Traitor

You are perfect we are imperfect, so you want to hear this?

Just shoo off if you so affected by us here. Damn it!

dragg SG

am i affected? you are the one who is fierce and affected. you are the one who used the word 'damn it'.

You are fierce to defend the PRC and insisting should leave the matter as it is. You are not happy people don't agree with you. So what if I used the word "damn" it, you deserve it!

REad read carefully with your eyes wide open, people are complaining about your comments indirectly, be wise!

If you are not affected why you keep insisting?

YOu good in turning the table around.

ok lah. end the discussion here.

you win ok.

jmstar~ SG

ok lah. end the discussion here.

you win ok.

it is a matter of looking at the whole issue with the interest of Singaporeans. When things go wrong if Singaporeans don't side Singaporeans , who will? You know our govt is so pro foreigners.

lce SG

ok lah. end the discussion here.

you win ok.

high time to wake up your sense of belonging

unless u r not a singaporean

iceFatboy SG

I don't know the full picture of what happened, or even if the indian family is also a FT or etc.

But, imptly, I think that if you were to come into a new environment, you should learn to adapt. And surely not to question something so traditionallly or fundamentally.

In short, this time, curry, what's next, ask a Malay family not to cook chilli?

We, Singaporeans have all learn to be tolerant of others' races. But this touch the nerves of many as we all felt that we have been giving up our spaces and in short, our national identity. Yes, a small incident, or a resolved one, but it has left many a bitter after-taste.

No doubt, this is resolved, but as we "welcome" more and more, I do believe we will have many more such "conflicts", and this should be nipped in the bud.

Just my two cents. no offense to any.
