I've trained with Gurkhas in old PA. I can't see how Singaporeans (including myself) can beat them in a one-to-one. There was also a time I used to hang around Joo Seng (just next to Mt. Vernon) frequently with a buddy. He was also irrate at too much Gurkhas in his neighbourhood and one night, tipsy half drunk he picked a quarrel with the next table of Gurkhas also drinking there whom he accused of talking too loud. I pulled him back and apologised to the Gurkhas, saying the magic words, don't worry, I was also police officer and my friend was drunk, I'd take care.
Gurkhas are trained not to infringe on Singaporeans except under duty, order or self-defence. Yes, tolerance is part of the training and drilling too. It's the same for other Gurkhas serving under British Army, not to infringe on British for personal quarrels except under abovementioned circumstances. If Besotted can ground a Gurkha in a one-to-one no-holds-barred, Alamaking can kill a lion and donate its head for display on Hollandse Club wall.
