As I queued at the Pontian Wanton Mee, I witness a very sad incident. The 3 lady manning the stall are obviously from PRC. They were ganging up to scold the singaporean old man who is employed by the hawker centre cleaning contractor. They scolded him about him being slow, never clear plate fast, never wipe their stall trays clean and a host of other complaint against him.
I am not sure who is in the wrong, but one thing for sure, it pains me to see a local being scolded this way, by FT some more....imagine if he is your old man! And why is he still working at this age and suffer daily....to earn a living? pay flats? heathcare? and support the family?
I also witness before FT parents who do not need to work but whole day wander at the HDB area to compete with locals for cardboard and other stuff to sell to garang guni.....even such previously local old folks way of earnings is being encroached by the FT parents, and these FT parent cannot and no need to work as cleaner like our local old folks!
break my heart.........sigh........how pathetic can we local get?</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
