Dear The Real Singapore,
I dropped by Whitesands Shopping Mall in
Pasir Ris today for my dinner at the foodcourt located at level 3.
Sadly, I witnessed a disturbing incident and I am rather appalled by it.
Here’s my account.
If I’m not mistaken, the mall management
engaged a cleaning agency to provide cleaning services to the foodcourt
there. The cleaners deployed are mostly local senior citizens with
perhaps a few foreigners to make up for the numbers. There is however
one particular foreign cleaner, presumably a PRC judging from the
accent, who displayed a considerable lack of professionalism in my
opinion.
Looking at his attire alone, I’m going
to have to assume he’s a supervisor or someone holding an authority over
the other cleaners there. Apparently, I noticed he is verbally abrasive
towards the local elderly cleaners often chiding them loudly in full
view of the foodcourt crowd.
I can’t help but to register the very
prejudiced tone this PRC cleaner directs to the poor elderly cleaners
with messages somewhat reflecting anti-Singaporean views. Irrespective
of the context surrounding the displeasure from the PRC cleaner, I
personally find that such a demeanor is uncalled for and highly
disrespectful especially when he’s working with a group of hardworking
senior citizens on our very soil. No elderly ought to be treated this
way and worst still from a foreigner who runs them down incessantly.
I also gathered from other stall owners
from the foodcourt that this PRC cleaner has been acting like this
frequently and I seriously think this is unacceptable if his behaviour
continues to go unchecked at this rate.
So, I’m counting on this medium to make
the voice of the silent elderly cleaners heard here. Hope you can help
to get in touch with the cleaning agency and urge them to look into
this. The name of the cleaning agency and a short description of the PRC
cleaner are provided below. My apologies for the limited data as this
is what I could collect. Thanks for helping.
Cleaning Agency: JonMach
Description of PRC Cleaner: Short and
stout-looking with a distinctive loud voice. He’s the only PRC there and
most likely holding a supervisory role
