The question to ask is why do they do it here. I will take any wager than the same asswipes would not dare to this in countries where they are similarly in vast numbers and in both white-collar and blue-collar jobs - the Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar, KSA, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain).
So why do these guys, many of whom are straight off the boat from India, land in Singapore and then are absolutely comfortable to lord over the locals, in particular the Chinese who are a majority? You will note that they do not act the same in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia.
It's as if they realise very quickly that the majority Chinese are meek and articulate themselves very poorly (gross generalisation but for the sake of illustrating my point) - but in any of the countries I suggested the mastery of the English language may also be seen as wanting. So what is it about the Chinese Singaporeans that exudes the perception that these guys can tekan, dominate, patronise, condescend to and get away without any care?
As for their kids in any of these restaurants, did anyone speak up about how disruptive they were being to other diners? These asses are always heroes when they are in their packs - the affliction of local Chinese singkies is the same - they just don't know how to tackle them in a manner that intimidates them to abide by respectable social norms. The non-confrontational side of Singkies is admirable but ultimately leads to them becoming bolder and nastier. The same for the dickhead ang mohs. Locals are just easy pickings to them. And locals tend to just bohchap and not want to call them out on any of their crap whether in a professional or social setting.
PS I don't include the other minorities as the same Indians are more likely than not to spend time around Chinese colleagues simply because of the industries they have landed in. And based on my experience the minorities tend to be very much less tolerant of their shenanigans and more willing to be vocal about it.
