Sinkies are now hated all over the world 4 being ungrateful to the best government

S'porean family's Xmas eve nightmare in Dubai jail.


A Singaporean family was prevented from boarding their departing flight at the Dubai Airport on Christmas eve and detained for 14 hours.

The wife and her 13-year-old daughter were separated from the husband and all were made to spend the night in a crowded police cell. Their mobile phones were confiscated and they were not allowed to contact their relatives or the Singapore Consulate-General in Dubai for assistance.

After the questioning, the Dubai Police finally acknowledged that they were mistaken and had detained the wrong people. The family was released on Christmas Day.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has since called in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) interim Charge d’Affaires to formally register their “grave concerns over the wrongful detention of and treatment of the Singaporean family”.

Helping Singaporeans abroad is a drain on resources and does nothing to increase Singapore's GDP. Singapore did not succeed by relying on others. I think Singaporeans facing problems overseas should resolve them by themselves. You help one family, you set a precedent for other families to exploit. And you'll never put Singapore together again. Humpty Dumpty cannot be put together again. My asset values will disappear, my apartments will be worth a fraction of what they were, our ministers' jobs will be in peril, their security will be at risk and their women will become maids in other people's countries, foreign workers. We cannot have that!

Indeed, Singapore's embassies and consulate should help more FTs to get into Singapore as soon as possible rather then helping losers like these.

Whatever we need to please the foreigners. Remember, without foreign talent, Singapore wouldn't have survived. Foreigners create jobs and GDP growth for Singapore. They built a nation, strong and free, reaching out together for peace and harmony.
