The real Amy Cheong: She's an Australian citizen born in Malaysia

[BuiKia]

Amy Cheong, the former NTUC assistant director who made a racially-insensitive post on facebook, is an Australian citizen who was born in Malaysia.

Her facebook rant on Sunday (Oct 7) about how Malay weddings are held at void decks for days had raised the ire of netizens and gone viral on the internet. In the end, it had cost her her job, drawn responses from five political leaders, and prompted her decision to leave Singapore for Perth, Australia on Oct 8.

In a report in The New Paper, Cheong, who is in her 30s, had revealed that she is a Singapore permanent resident who has lived here for ten years. She had moved to Australia from Malaysia when she was eight, before finally choosing to settle here.

She says she initially chose to live here because people here could speak English and were culturally diverse, with different festivals and a wide variety of food.

Despite her rant, she claims her exposure to people of many backgrounds and cultures over the years means that she sees everyone as "the same, regardless of their race or colour."

She also revealed that she had been publicly threatened over the incident, with some making "really nasty" comments about her. She decided to leave because she had feared for her safety and hoped to reduce tension by staying away.

If NTUC doesn't hire Singaporeans first and foremost, you can't very well expect the rest of Singapore employers not to do likewise.

So much for caring for Singaporean workers. The Union movement itself is in no position to cast the first stone.

Most Aussie unis are substandard. At the bare minimum, go for the Group of 8 unis which typically have more funding. State Unis such as ANU are considered relatively prestigious in Australia.

in angmo countries, ppl are very straight forward and direct in expressing their views. For an expressive gal like Amy, she came to the wrong country where most sinkies feels inferior & lose face when being told off. In Sinkie land the best way is to hide one corner and rant in STOMP

so she is truly asia, truly racist.

If she said Chinese were materialistic, that will be fine.

Too bad that she spoke about the overly sensitive group.

Cannot give these FTs any chance. Zero tolerence, one mistake then "thank you for considering Singapore, have a nice life"

That's the approach I adopt to any MC-totting smoke-break-addicted employees too.

Thank you,Fatty.

PAP loves ABC,abc,EBC,BBC,FBC,etc
So long as you are a Chinese and born in the West,you are most welcome,as you add a dash of class to low class PAP.

NTUC is the one at fault. The Malays are so easily swayed and they have the bad habit of going after the wrong persons all the time.
They should just look at NTUC and spit, for it's at fault for hiring useless FTs. The local Malays are also losing their jobs to FTs hired by NTUC.

It would have been fine if she complain about the Chinese funeral instead. She can even call the police and the authorities may do something about it.

Uk better.

Tells you much about the pseudo-union called NTUC: they would even let a foreign CUNT take the position of senior leadership within its ranks.

I won't be surprised if she had sucked the dicks of some NTUC leeders (Zorro?) to achieve her position in that organization.

Shouldnt matter what event it is. If PAP getai must also diam by 22:30!!!

 

[cheekenpie]

Then you prefer REAL union like SNEF? Real union dont give a shitz about your welfare.... they only care about cost and productivity.

 

[seesuatah]

It doesnt change her Mat phobias she received when she was young.

Why she hates Matland and run road to OZ?

Is Matland really that crappy?

Let's not even talk about Chinese funerals: I have noticed that the seventh month auctions held in void decks were restricted in recent years. The microphone volume of the emcee had become very soft, and the event would end way before 11pm. It was not like that in the good old days.

Obviously, some overly sensitive asshole had complained to the town council. It could be a Chinese, but it's more likely that some other race did the complaining.

But clearly, the double standards are painfully obvious. What's the town council doing when the Mats were having a marathon karaoke session during their void deck wedding celebrations? To make matters worse, many of the singers were screaming and didn't even know how to sing!
