Dear Readers,
I would like to feedback on the Subject which I visited on 28 Dec 10 with friends.
I noticed the cafe hires overwhelmingly, foreigners who are largely unaware of proper hygiene practices of S’pore. I also wonder if they are legitimately hired as they commented that it is so easy to “get anything done in S’pore, just not get apprehended in the process.” (They thought I didn’t understand their lingo).
On another point, they (staff and customers alike), seemed to be anti-semitic as they were passing sarcastic comments about my Jewish friend who was with me at the time and were also largely hostile to his presence. (Again they did not know that I understood their language). I was shocked to encounter this in our shores as I always thought racism is almost non-existent here. This brings to my memory, a case of assault against a Jew at the National Library a few months back and the culprit hanged around arab st. quite frequently which is fast becoming a hotbed of negative influence from the arab middle-easterners who ’settle’ there.
My concern is, if such behaviour is left unchecked, could lead to dire consequences. I hope the authorities could look into this and correct aptitudes.
Thank you.
