Dear Leona,
A friend of mine runs a cleaning agency and just like your Printer friend at Bras Basah, he charges expat Indians Premium price because of the same reasons- nasty, demanding, unreasonable costing the company more than the average normal customers would.
By the way, the owner of the Singaporean company is a local Indian but only adopted this policy of charging Expat Indian premium price because of too many very bad experiences with highyly demanding and unreasonable expat Indians who constantly demands discount upon citing the slightest dissatisfaction after the completion of service.
Many a time, even the local cleaners with years of experience dealing with western expats, got into tongue lashing with expat Indians because of their rude regard for cleaners; probably these expats view cleaners as low paid workers who do not have to be shown any respect. This is not the treatment the cleaners experience from expats of other nationality but seems to be very common among expat Indians especially the north Indians. Many a worker complained that the expat Indian clients speaks in a condescending manner to them and regard them lowly which is not what they experience with most western expats.
According to my friend, many of his cleaners request not to be sent to expat Indian houses because of the same reasons of bad treatment. Not just the chinese and malay cleaners, even his Indian cleaners refuses to take on jobs if its expat Indians. This creates a problem for him, some even when offered extra pay refuses.
While its true bitchiness transcends all ethnicity, somehow among expat Indians it is too often and too much. Looks like the coMmunity through their own behaviour has brought this upon themeselves. May be it is time for them to relook aT how they conduct themselves as after all they are the ambassadors of their country when they are overseas. And it is they who stand to lose if they do not do some soul searching, when so many locals have spoken strongly about their behavior.
I personally think they should regard this feedback and make some effort to change. I don’t think Singaporeans are rejecting them but just rejecting their behavior.
Singaporeans do welcome expat Indians, if the behavior they display is worth welcoming.

_____________________________________________________
Many Australians say that it takes two to tango. The Aussies believe that the media carping is exaggerated and counterproductive. Australians react to 80,000 (what they call) “smelly” Indians on campuses with “Dot Busting”
Indian students are ubiquitous on Australian campuses, but they have not assimilated into the Australian way of life. On many occasions they have violated their visa status and have started to permeate the landscape around the campuses in search of menial jobs. 80,000 students on a few dozen campuses makes them highly visible. In a slowing economy, there is a growing tide of Anti-Indian feeling among the Aussies. Many Australians feel that the Indian complaints are exaggerated and hide the real truth which usually stem from domestic disputes, lewd behaviour, drunkenness or theft of property. The Australian Police does not accept the Indian claim that racism is involved. Some of the female Indian “students” have been caught as prostitutes, and there is the general perception that many of the Indian students sell drugs in Australia. Some Australians have accused the Indians of using Black Magic for seduction purposes. Australian students also accuse the Indians on cheating in exams and whispering answers in Hindi and other languages not understood by Australians. A section of Australia feels that they are being overwhelmed by India. Many Aussies accuse the Indians of forcing their Indian culture on campuses by celebrating their hundreds of festivals and cooking their foods in inappropriate places like hallways and TV lounges. Sydney beaches are full of the drunk Indian students ogling and harassing the women. The Australians also accuse the Indians of gender bias and mistreating female instructors.
The complaints against the Indian stem from the living habits of the students. Hard up for cash most of them cram up in small little apartment where subletting from one student to the other is the norm. Unlike most other Asian students the Indians live in off-campus dilapidated apartments. One major source of complaint is the cooking habits of the Indians. The use of “hing” is unique to the Indians. Not only does “hing” smell up the entire apartment complex, when mixed with various other spices, the smell permanently camps out in the furniture and clothing.
Australia has about 400,000 foreign students. The Malaysians, Lankans, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis either live in the dorms, or live in well to do apartments. Unlike the Indians, most of them also enjoy Australian foods. They do not face similar complaints. In a recent poll, most Australians had a negative view of the students from India whom they found obnoxious and very aggressive.
This sort of diplomatic aggressiveness will boomerang. Already there are signs that the Australians are tired of the carping. Privately the Aussies are seething at the Indian attitude. “Who they hell they think they are?. If they don’t like it, they can go back to Smellyland”.
Wrong place and the wrong time is Australian euphemism for “Indian Go Home” you are the in the wrong place, which is Australia.

Sporeans travel far and wide. They should know the cultures of other countries.

Although the countries they travel - be it China, India, Malaysia or Indonesia - are countries where their forefathers share similar cultures, circumstances have changed. You go to China, they bargain like hell and don't feel bad about it - it's part of their culture. You go to Indonesia - you need to bargain even with the metered taxi-driver. Both don't feel bad about the practice. You go India, same-same - or worse.

These practices appear strange to Singaporeans who have been brought up in a clean and honest society brought about by a government which is honest and doesn't tolerate corruption or bad practices. They don't into Cold Storage and bargain with the salesgirls.

Indians are peculiar because they are still deeply ingrained in the caste system - they look down on Indian people of the lower caste - many of whom migrated from Indian and Ceylon and settled down in Singapore, where equality regardless of race, language, religions holds. Many expatriats are from northern India of the 'fairer' Brahmin stock - high caste - the Aryans. Many Sporean Indians are from the "darker" Dravidian stock - the lower caste. So it's understandable that they look down on Indian Sporeans who are less educated and doing menial work. Same-same for Shanghainese who think they are better than some Sporean Chinese.

Most important is, we must be the master. Sporeans must know they are the masters - without which these expatriates would not be here earning their living. Indians historically have shown to be extremely loyal and faithful if they know that their boss is powerful and have control over them. Look at the Indian and Bangladeshi kowtowing to their local supervisors on the road or construction sites. You also don't have to look far to see more examples in Singapore. But when their boss is weak, then the Indians are no better than Brutus!
