Chitchat Ah Neh ask Sinkies don't be racist towards them

Letter of the week: Fear of Covid-19 should not translate into hatred towards certain race​

My husband and I came to Singapore as newly-weds 22 years ago, and promptly fell in love with the place and the people.

When we were offered citizenship a few years later, we gladly accepted since, by then, every time we landed at Changi Airport, it truly felt like we were home.

We have never once felt like outsiders in our neighbourhood. Lately, neighbours have been checking in with us to ask if our relatives in India are doing all right amid its pandemic situation.

Hence, the recent racist attacks (verbal and physical) on people of Indian origin and the multitude of hurtful comments hurled against them online are very distressing.

Singapore is one of the very few countries that have controlled the virus spread effectively and with customary efficiency.

Singaporeans are living through unprecedented times, and the fear of being infected by the virus is real.

But the fear should not manifest itself as hatred towards a certain segment of the community or be based on the perceived country of origin.

It is not a blame game - Singaporeans are in this fight together - and taking a polarised view of the issue will only add to the tension and not alleviate it.

Singapore was one of the first countries to rush to India's aid when the crisis broke, and a majority of Singaporeans have been kind and full of concern about what India and Indians are going through.

I appeal to the few who are allowing their emotions to cloud their rational thinking.

For many expats and new citizens of Indian origin, Covid-19 fatalities in India are not just statistics, but personal losses - the wounds are still raw and the end is not in sight.

What is needed is for more people to show kindness, understanding and empathy - this doesn't cost anything, but will be priceless for the ones receiving them.

This tells you all you need to know about the people who work at the Shitty Times, especially those who make the decisions which letters to publish.

The malays have been saying the same thing for 100 years. Immigrants should leave,

 

[tanwahtiu]

Where was she when packs of fake degree ahnehs stormed in to steal IT jobs from the locals.

How many locals lost the their jobs and has to turn to drive Ubers and delivery jobs.

We still trying to get rid of Loong and his PAP.

Brace this pandemic setup by USA to drain out all fake degrees ahneh job stealers all over the world.

We all suffer this pandemic and last thing we want is to lose good pay jobs to cheaters and thefts Indian shitskins.

 

[syed putra]

Fact is citizenship was offered. They did not apply for it.

 

[rushifa666]

Caste nazi ceca cries racism. Hitler weeps as he talks about human rights

 

[Loofydralb]

PAP will lose plenty of votes next GE. Issues of nationality, patriotism and jobs are not easily forgotten.
PAP is now between a hard place and a rock. They deserve it

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Not happy, go back India la.

It’s such a simple logic , I always wonder why nobody does that.

 

[Rogue Trader]

These cheeby ah nehs must have roped in their own kind into the country over the years ... And now dare to cry racism?? Is she kidding??

 

[Hanslesley73]

She and her ppl should go back to India.
Grab used to have an Indian call centre, recently Grab has ditched the Indian customer Svc low quality staffs n now has Singaporeans back as customer Svc officers. What a huge, refreshing change! Singaporeans definitely hold a much higher standard catering to customers.

Hopefully more companies will realize this n employ Singaporean locals instead of compromising on their company standard by bringing in low quality but cheap labor staff from India.

If immigrants left and all that is left are mat yoyos, you'll probably spend your days playing guitar and smoking in void decks and dream of motorcycles...
