Slapped at pool for being 'rude' to wife
ON THURSDAY I was at my friend's condominium, Bishan8, for a class barbecue when we had a most shocking encounter.
My friends were swimming in the pool in PE shorts and T-shirts when a security guard told us that a couple sitting on the other side of the pool had complained that we were not properly attired.
The guard said that it was not against the rules but he had to act on the complaint. Upon checking the rules, we found that we were allowed to wear our own clothes in the pool and my friends continued to swim.
The woman approached us and started yelling Hokkien vulgarities at my friends and my friend's mother. My friend told her to stop verbally abusing her mother and the woman yelled: 'You want to fight, come up and fight, lah!'
A while later, her husband went up to my friend, shoved her and slapped her on the face for being 'rude' to his wife. Mind you, this was a 15-year-old girl who was half his size.
When we yelled at him in indignation, his wife showed my other friends the middle finger.
As a 15-year-old, I am appalled at the behaviour of these adults. They portray the ugly side of Singaporeans and give Singaporeans a bad name.
I hope that we can do something to change the mindsets of such people: that they are educated and therefore are above everybody else.

the author and friends were right in not hitting back. the author can choose to call the police but doesnt which shows how kind they are. writing to ST forums is a good mass media for telling us singaporeans.
eh...security guard can testify...Originally posted by dumbdumb!:which i don't think he wants to lor. who wants the trouble?
it is a lose lose situation, since u're already being slapped, and u report oso no use, because you need alibi and proof, which are hard to get.
finish it with your own justice lor.
ok sure,i am not interested in it anyway,just as long as sensitive religion issue are not brought up in such topics.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:no la, i just thought it was a good time to explain something everyone's always asking, since a few of you somehow hit the nail on the head.
it is a big enough reason. which you can't see it from your point of view i'm afraid, and i don't care enough to explain to you, knowing you wouldn't understand anyway
you think the security guard will testify?Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:eh...security guard can testify...
proof? u want slap mark is it?
it depends. if the security guard has a great sense of justice, he would do what is right.Originally posted by Aveme:you think the security guard will testify?
He is working there and the couple are two of the residents there.How to carry on working later if he testify and then make his own everyday a living hell if the couple try and is likely to make trouble for him
easy words ...... but not if you're a chap in his 50s or 60s out to earn your montly rice cos you have neither enough CPF nor parchment ....Originally posted by dumbdumb!:it depends. if the security guard has a great sense of justice, he would do what is right.
if he's just a snivelling twit, bowing to money and power. he would mind his own business.
I really would doubt so,even someone with a great sense of justice will think twice in this current not doing so well economy.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:it depends. if the security guard has a great sense of justice, he would do what is right.

Excuse me... I am a Christian myself but I daresay that some of the more obnoxious and arrogant people I've come across are Christians.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:abit out of topic again. and this is the reason why christians are adviced to marry christians.
don't get me wrong, i'm not saying other people are animals. anyway back to the topic at hand
that would be too idealistic i would say.Minding your own biz is really too entrenched a traits in people here.Originally posted by Rhonda:I think it's time for society to take action. Too many times, people get away with obnoxious behaviour like that because there isn't much repurcussions to the offenders.
However, if society was to stand up as one and voice a strong disapproval and chastice, things might start to change.
'Society' meaning you and me and our friends.
Too often, we'll act as bystanders usually do, blend into the background and hope to 'disappear' whilst still hanging around, watching the action. Or, some of us will siam ah! Chao ah!!
For instance, in the cinema, it's crazy but if you politely tell some folks to "Please stop talking", they won't listen and there are those who'll even snub you by talking even louder. Now, imagine the scenario if one asks them to stop talking and everyone else around there agrees and says, 'Yeah!' or 'That's right!', they'll be embarrassed into behaving.
u'll get no arguments from me.Originally posted by Rhonda:Excuse me... I am a Christian myself but I daresay that some of the more obnoxious and arrogant people I've come across are Christians.
IMHO, I derive more pleasure dealing with the Buddhists in my line of work.
Sad thing is, I've tried going back to church soooo many times, but then, I stand amidst the congregation, and I start to think of the stuff that's happened and are happening, and I just can't concentrate on the worship and service anymore.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:u'll get no arguments from me.
i've been the butt end of screwed up christians too. in fact. i'm so screwed up now, i wouldn't be going to church and all that if its not because my parents are dragging me there
So what is the point you were trying to make about christians having to marry christians? Because i don't seem to see any relevance, and am pretty inclined to think you seem to be insinuating something about other religions, and i am eager to know what exactly.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:u'll get no arguments from me.

Yo, bro! Which street gang do you belong to ah?
Jokes aside, I don't blame your outburst. That couple was indeed overstepping their boundaries!
Don't worry... they will somehow, someday, pay for their misdeed!
