Commentary: Why do some Singaporeans treat security officers and maids badly?

[Voldermort]

Last Thursday (March 25), a report on the job sentiment of private security employees in Singapore found that two in five security officers (42.3 per cent) reported getting abused at the workplace.

Abuse of security officers in Singapore has surged 30% since Covid-19: Survey

The data, collected between September and November 2020, represents a 10 percentage point increase from a similar survey done in January and February 2020.

The latest study also found that one in every 20 officers was physically assaulted, up from one in every 30 prior to the circuit breaker.

More remarkably, the older a security officer is, the greater the likelihood the person will be abused.

Security guard dogs desrerved to be beaten. They are discriminative n look down on contractors n food delivery. Whereas they try to get close to the maids
Also, there are Anti- taxi drivers too. Sinkies pwn sinkies.

Security dogs need to wake up their fucking idea.
They are guarding the building, they don't own the fucking building.
Just because they got some uniform doesn't mean they get to bark loudly.

Same reason why they become monsters behind the wheel, or transform into another creature with a little fame/money/power.

It's a timeless conundrum, and hardly unique to Sinkieland or this current era.
