Singapore – On July 17 (Wednesday), a member of the public shared “a very saddening moment” of a Chinese aunty refusing to take an empty MRT seat beside a foreign worker and only sat down after he gave up her seat.

Regina Yqh went to Facebook to share the incident she witnessed at the MRT a few days ago.

“Initially the Indian man was seated opposite me, with one empty seat beside [him],” wrote Ms Regina.

A few moments passed, and an elderly Chinese aunty boarded the train, she wrote. “She appeared reluctant to sit down and exchanged eye contact with him (I think he’s a construction worker) as if he needs to stand up before she agrees to sit down.”

Ms Regina’s suspicions proved to be accurate because the man stood up from his seat.

What’s more, is that “the aunty gave him a look as if he did something wrong,” wrote Ms Regina.

She went on to say how disheartening it was to witness discrimination.

“Mind you, I’m a true-blue Chinese, and feel sad when people of different races appear to discriminate one another,” she wrote.

Ms Regina noted that the man seemed fine giving up his seat, but things were awkward.

“He is nice enough to give up the seats (sic) and let the aunty sit on that two empty seats.”

Fortunately, Ms Regina was not someone who would let something like this pass her by.

“Seeing that, I immediately stood up and offered to change my seat with him,” wrote the kind woman.

“Because come on, why doesn’t he deserve a seat?”

“We are all paying transport fare, isn’t it,” wondered Ms Regina, standing up for justice.

She went on to urge everyone to practice some empathy and to be considerate of other people.

“Treat others as how you wish to be treated,” she wrote. “Hope this message will reach out to as many possible.

“Let’s do a small favour to make this stressful world a better place, be it a construction worker or whatsoever, they don’t rob,” wrote Ms Regina wisely.

The online community promptly applauded her actions and thanked Ms Regina for doing something about the discrimination she experienced.

Netizen Pter YP Lim shared a similar experience he witnessed via a comment:

“Last year, I was aboard an MRT train, I observed and witnessed one peculiar old lady, who was carrying a bag of groceries. One foreign Bangladeshi worker was sitting next to an empty foreign seat. After this old lady got into the train, she immediately demanded that he give up his seat for her. She could just sit down and put her bag on her lap, but she did not. Her remarks were ‘Saya kaki sakit’ meaning her leg is painful. What a selfish and demanding old lady. After that, the foreign worker gave up the seat for her. She then placed her bag onto the seat and put up one leg onto the other empty seat. Thus, she occupied two seats and the poor worker, who after a tiring day’s work, had to stand all the way.”

How sad. -/TISG

It's not discrimination against skin color. It's the overall tidiness and hygiene that the person impresses on others. It could have been a Chinese or AMDK, but if you are smelly or dirty it has nothing to do with race.

Nothing to do with race it's about odour.

I don't like sitting next to the Chinese for the same reason. They eat too much pork and smell like pigs and they have this habit of farting in air conditioned environments where the smell lingers.

We Burmese smell much better and hardly ever suffer from flatulence.

Even I wouldn't sit next to an Ah Neh construction worker, not because of his race, but because they stink. Same if it was a PRC construction worker or any Sinkie who stinks.

Forget about racism. Do you want to risk getting measles or any other diseases from these people?

Measles cases on rise in recent weeks with 116 cases so far this year: MOH

There were 14 measles cases at the MINDSville @ Napiri, a residential home for persons with intellectual disability.

23 Jul 2019 08:32PM (Updated: 23 Jul 2019 08:50PM)

SINGAPORE: The number of measles cases in Singapore has increased in recent weeks with 17 new cases at two separate locations, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a media release on Tuesday (Jul 23).

This brings the total number of measles cases this year to 116 as of Jul 22, said the ministry.

While there is currently no evidence of community spread from these new cases, MOH said it has taken precautionary measures to prevent further spread.

"These include vaccination of close contacts who do not have proof of vaccination or immunity, and close monitoring of the health of close contacts," said MOH, adding that all suspected measles cases will be isolated.

MOH said that out of all the cases this year, 88 were local and 28 were imported from Bangladesh, Dubai, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
No deaths have been reported this year as a result of these cases.


14 CASES AT MINDSVILLE@NAPIRI HOME

MOH said it was first notified on Jul 7 of a suspected measles case at MINDSville@Napiri home at 7 Lorong Napiri, a residential home for persons with intellectual disability.

The resident had developed symptoms on Jun 29 and received outpatient treatment on Jul 1 and Jul 5.

After she was tested positive for measles on Jul 9, the resident was hospitalised, said MOH. She has since been discharged and is no longer infectious.

Thirteen other cases were then reported to MOH from Jul 19 to Jul 22, and the patients were promptly isolated and treated.

The confirmed cases included 12 residents and two employees, said MOH. Six of the residents were eventually hospitalised, one of whom has been discharged and is no longer infectious.

MOH said that after being made aware of the first case, they had advised the home on enhanced infection prevention and control measures.

“Staff and residents were reminded to maintain a high standard of personal hygiene and staff were asked to wear gloves and protective equipment when tending to symptomatic residents."

The home was also advised to closely monitor residents and staff for symptoms and to seek medical treatment for them if they are unwell, said MOH.

On Jul 22, all residents and employees of the home who did not have proof of measles vaccination were given the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccination, added MOH.

The ministry said that all residents will be screened for symptoms before leaving the home for medical appointments or any activities.

TWO INDIAN WORKERS, ONE BANGLADESHI INFECTED WITH MEASLES

On Jul 15, a case of measles infection in S11 Dormitory @ Punggol involving one Indian worker was reported to MOH.

Two other measles cases involving a Bangladeshi and Indian worker from the same dormitory were later reported to MOH.

All three workers were hospitalised and have since been discharged and are no longer infectious, added MOH.

While vaccination history of the three cases is unclear, the Bangladeshi worker had recently arrived from his home country on Jun 27.

The other two cases, however, had no recent travel history.

"The three cases reside at different blocks in the dormitory and are from different companies, working at different sites," said MOH.

"They reported no contact with sick people. Thus far, there have been no links identified amongst the three cases," said the ministry, adding that investigations were ongoing.

As of Jul 22, 50 close contacts, which included roommates and co-workers, have been identified and vaccinated.

Other residents on the same floor as the infected individuals, who also do not have proof of vaccination or immunity, will also be vaccinated.

"MOH is working with the companies to conduct screening and vaccination of all close contacts of the three cases who do not have proof of vaccination or immunity," said the ministry.

It has advised the companies to closely monitor the health of the identified close contacts and to seek medical treatment promptly if they are unwell.
Vaccination of all contacts identified is expected to be completed by the end of the week.

SINGAPOREANS TO BE VIGILANT AMID INCREASE IN MEASLES GLOBALLY

In the release, MOH urged Singaporeans to be vigilant, as measles cases around the world have increased substantially.

"As a travel hub, Singapore is likely to see increased cases from importation.
"MOH has alerted general practitioners to be on the look-out for cases of measles, particularly in patients who have recently travelled overseas or who have not been vaccinated, and to notify MOH promptly," it said.

Measles is a highly transmissible viral disease among unvaccinated individuals, with an infectious period of as early as four days before onset of rash to four days after.

MOH reminded the public that the most effective way of preventing measles infection is to be vaccinated.

Following up from a previous case of measles reported at two other dormitories last month, MOH said that there have not been further cases reported.

On Jun 27, two Bangladeshi workers staying at Toh Guan Dormitory and three Bangladeshi workers staying at Sungei Tengah Lodge contracted measles.

"MOH has since completed vaccination of all close contacts of the eight measles cases," said the ministry.

Integration had failed. It is proven in Europe and elsewhere. Singapore with all its hype hardly mix together. As the saying goes "birds of the same feather flock together". How true. I would like to add "people of the same colour or IQ flock together".

I wouln't sit next to Burmese too coz they eat too much bamboo shoots; the smell is more lethal than firepower
in time of war.

If you like to mingle around with Bangla construction workers and have a jolly good time, go to the Penjuru Walk dorms and recreation centre.

KNN what's wrong with refusing to take the empty seat KNN it is a fact that the bo is unbearable for some KNN especially for those already having nausea will surely trigger the vomitting KNN that will become even more saddening KNN
