They don't have the balls to fight a real war so they take it out on their defenseless foreign born wives instead.

More immigrant spousal abuse

By Ang Yiying

THE number of cases of violence against spouses involving immigrants here has gone up, a leading anti-domestic violence agency said on Thursday.

Providing Alternatives to Violence (Pave) has handled about 240 new spousal abuse cases a year for the past two financial years. Of these, the proportion of cases involving those born overseas has risen from 12 per cent to 22 per cent.

There were a total of 85 such cases over the two years. The bulk of them - 70 - involved the agency counselling abused wives. In one case it helped an abused husband, and it also counselled 14 husbands who had abused their wives.

Pave defines immigrants as those who were born overseas, regardless of how long they have been living here or whether they have attained Singapore permanent resident or citizen status. They could be married to foreign-born or Singapore-born spouses.

It presented the data on Thursday during a half-day symposium which it jointly organised with the Centre for Social Development Asia, which is based at the National University of Singapore.

It said that the dynamics of abuse are similar whether victims are born locally or overseas, but the latter group may face more barriers in getting help.

They may perceive that there is discrimination against them as they are not born here, or face isolation or the lack of a social support network. One particularly vulnerable group are wives on social visit passes who may be threatened with deportation by their husbands.

Pave's head of family development and senior social worker Seah Kheng Yeow said at the event on NUS' Kent Ridge Campus that there was a need to make public education and outreach more accessible to immigrants. This could include translation of resource materials into their native languages or reaching out to them through existing activities held by residents' committees.

to deflate a dickhead's big ego is to bash up his precious jewels. the agonising pain shall remain quite permanent and remind him not to mess with ladies especially moi.

This report is not detailed enough as the data is very general. ST always misled readers with these general data.r,

Gutless wife beating sinkies!

Can you please punctuate properly? At first I thought you meant a gutless wife was on a rampage beating up Singaporean men. It should be "wife-beating".
