<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->MY FAMILY and I were on Sentosa last Saturday to enjoy the Jazz by the Beach. We reached there about 7pm and the place was already full. We noticed an empty spot and decided to squeeze in there. As we were about to get comfortable and enjoy the performance, a dog behind us moved towards us, sniffing and breathing down our necks and backs. I could feel its mouth touching my back.
I looked behind and noticed a group of young boys and girls with this dog. I politely asked them to move their dog away from us but they refused. My husband then repeated the request and one of the guys from the group, who said his name was Jeremy and that he worked on Sentosa started to raise his voice, claiming they were there first and if we were not comfortable, we should move. They also said there was no sign in the park to indicate that that pets were not allowed.
I argued that we had no problem that they had brought the dog but, in such places where everyone had to be seated in close proximity, the pets have to be disciplined and not disturb or inconvenience others. One has to be considerate and allow others to enjoy the performance without any disturbance. Most of us are very careful and do not even bring our children to such places, if they are not well behaved and tend to run around disturbing the audience during a performance.
The situation got worse as both parties started raising their voices and a security officer named Nicholas had to step in. He too tried to convince Jeremy that the dog was causing inconvenience and discomfort to others and that he should take his dog away, but to no avail. Jeremy, in his loud voice and backed by one of his girlfriends who was even louder and very rude, told Nicholas there was no rule there that pets were not allowed. All eyes were on us instead of the performers on the stage. In the end, the ranger, Mr BatuMalai, was called in and he too tried to talk to this young group.
Unfortunately, since there was no restriction to bring a pet there, was very little anyone could do and we decided to just move to another tiny spot.
I must say we impressed with management and security for the way they handled the situation professionally without causing a scene, but little can be said of the inconsiderate group of young people. Sadly, their actions reflected a negative image of young Singaporeans and it was embarrassing, especially because there many tourists were there. It just shows that, however developed and civilised we claim to be, the fact is there are still many Singaporeans who behave in the most embarrassing manner in public.

Singapore Permanent Residence "PR" - Ticket to Quality Living Says Ms. Ragini Dhanvantray, CEO of Rikvin Group
It is common for people having experienced the Singapore life seeking permanent Residence to sustain the quality living. Beyond education qualifications, Singapore also looks for those with relevant experience and/or specific skills that can add vibrancy and diversity, and meet the needs of our economy. As the nature and needs of the economy change, Singapore governmental policies seek to adjust the requirements accordingly to ensure that new Permanent Residents (PR) and Singapore Citizens (SCs) fit the relevant profile.
