<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->LAST week, I had dinner with my family at a restaurant in Northpoint Shopping Centre in Yishun.
As we were leaving the mall, I decided to snap some photos of my family. A security officer came over and told me I was not allowed to take photos. When I asked him why, he told me to go to Basement 2 and seek permission there before I could take photos.
Northpoint is a shopping centre that thousands of people visit. Just imagine if everyone who wants to take a photo has to seek permission first.
If the mall has a 'no photo-taking' policy, it should be clearly stated.
Our day was spoilt as a result. I e-mailed Frasers Centrepoint Malls about this a week ago but have yet to receive a reply.

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%" class=Post cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top" align=left>These indian expatriates are selfish and sensitive people. When somebody tells not to do something, they get agitated and cannot tolerate it. They complain to the management, to the police and even to Lee Kwan Yew..!! This guy says "our day was spoiled ". What is there to spoil. If you are humble and modest, just go to the basement and take permission and go ahead with taking photographs. Their arrogant attitude doesnot allow them to obey rules. They feel it is insulting to obey orders from securitymen. They must learn to observe and obey the laws of singapore. Sometimes we have to pray a price for allowing foreigners to come here.
