KNN I was search by MRT security staff!

[RonRon]

Sent my car to sin ming for servicing this afternoon, as it will take up half of the day I decided to take a MRT back home. I am suprise to be stopped by the security staff and was told to open my bag for search. I saw a lady wearing that burqua thing (never know, could well have been a man) with only a slit for her eyes on the MRT after the Madrid bombing. I think she was a middle eastern lady (eh, there are women suicide bombers too, OK!).
I then ask the staff if such a person wearing veil was or should have been searched and watched closely, he gave me all kinds of crap answers such as they did not receive any directive and so cannot do so and that they were afraid of racial/religious sensitivities (like the McDonald's Doremon case???).
(BTW I was well dress and look educated & decent like average fellow singaporean.)

I think the authorities should never fear religious sensitivities when it comes to security. Its nonsense to put a whole lot of people at risk for the sake of religious sensitivity. Its not fair at all.:oIo::oIo:

Thats why I hope the gahmen and the security people will dare to be like the French and not be something like the McDonald's people, to try and make religious sensitivity more important then anything else, including the lives of people. If people wearing the burqua have to be searched and watched, then better do so before a few hundred people get blown sky high like in Madrid and London.

I guess you look suspicious for them to check you in the first place.
You are dark, well build, short haircut, carries facial hair and a big bag?

I dont see maintaining security, even if its just a wayang, has anything to do with religion.
