I can confirm that it is a Chinese Female. She probably lost her boyfriend or husband to a winsome lass from the 'peens who probably held a job higher to her's as well.the lynx wrote:OP is a female.

Hardly possible. Zaitun is Arabic name for olive. Could be of Arabic, Javanese or Malay heritage. Given that some of the Filipinos are classified as Malays in NRIC for PRs and SCs, I would guess the source of Zaitun's agony against them.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I can confirm that it is a Chinese Female.

I dont think this is a given. AFAIK, some smart ass posted an article in TRE after he, supposedly spoke to a Filipino who said that he/she specified Malay as race in the PR application. I dont think anyone has confirmed this and an article on TRE is worth just TRASH, OP ofcourse sounds like a hardcore TRE fanthe lynx wrote: ...Given that some of the Filipinos are classified as Malays in NRIC for PRs and SCs...
I don't think this is purely a SG problem, just witness the mass media hysteria of Daily Mail, Telegraph etc when The EU ( or more specifically England) opened its borders both in 2014 and back in 2004. The headlines of "Eastern Europeans coming to take our jobs" were everywhere for months on end! And you only need to look at the rise of the EDL, Britain First and UKIP (and the increase in their support) to realise that there is an increasingly large vocal minority . In the Uk for sub-continent read Bulgarian/Romanian....plus I believe it's basic human nature to fear that which you don't know and if you're already in a position of power, be it physically, financially, numerically that fear can easily be turned to control (bullying)JR8 wrote: Also. An element of SGns seem to have a psychological need to have a section of society to dislike and put down. Perhaps a vent and release for their own frustrations? Hence the highly odious (to me) general disdain for anyone from the sub-continent. Is it a variant of bullying perhaps? Someone who is bullied often finds someone else 'beneath them' to dislike and bully too...
I can't say I've been anywhere else where race is a daily issue and topic*. Well, maybe Israel has parallels, but it's a rare thing to experience IMO. One wonders why this simmering hatred is tolerated here. A useful distraction ['bread and circuses']? Jeez, it took a foreign company no less, Coca Cola, to suggest appreciating foreign workers ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj4A6g2GP30 ['Coke Drones' advertisement].
* Elements of it are super-micro-managed, and yet others seem to be completely ignored/tolerated. Curious.
My experience is that Pinoys are kinder, more respectful, friendlier, and more helpful than your average Singaporean. This country would be improved by having MORE of them. And who would be looking after your kid, anyway?Zaitun wrote:there are giving more & more problems to SG, the worse thing is most of them're holding Singapore PR, I wonder how to make them blacklist by ICA?
