This thread is not meant to be of a political nature.
People always say that life is not fair, and perhaps it isn't, but why do we have to tolerate the injustice that happens in our daily life?
I'm sure most of us have come across, either through personal experience or through stories we hear, of injustice. The people commiting the injustice may not have broken the law, hence the police were not called in or the case was not brought to court. The victim may not have known what to do, since the person commiting the injustice could have been in a position of power.
I don't think any of us would know what to do either, but you can at least pour out your woes and frustration and get some ideas or insight how to "relieve" your injustice.
The most high profile recent case would probably be the romanian diplomat hit and run case. That of course is being handled by the victims' lawyers, the romanian and singapore authorities, so we await the outcome. But I can remember other cases. Do you remember the case of the china national who killed his restaurant supervisor after they had a work dispute and shouted "we china people are not to be bullied"? From my recollection, he was sentenced to not more than 4 or 5 years jail. Another case was a man who asked 3 guys making noise at a hdb void deck to lower their voices. They attacked and killed him. I don't think they got more than 4 or 5 years either.
Don't see what we can do about these cases now, but what is your personal story of injustice? What were the facts? Perhaps we can share ideas or insights about how to relieve the injustice, if not to correct it.
