He said: 'They went only for the Indians, so I wasn't scared. They didn't attack the Chinese or the other races.'
He was speaking
=> And with the Familee TRAITORS issuing out pink tampons to the Indian FTrash like nobody's biz, expect all Sporns to be lumped together and targetted soon.

SINGAPOREANS working at Drydocks World's Graha in Batam escaped the upheaval at the shipyard unscathed on Thursday.
They said none of their compatriots had been injured.
As a quarrel blew up into a full-scale riot, a project manager said he took precautions by scaling the perimeter fence and fleeing the shipyard.
But the Chinese man in his late 30s, who wanted to be known only as Sean, said he was not afraid.
He said: 'They went only for the Indians, so I wasn't scared. They didn't attack the Chinese or the other races.'
He was speaking to The Straits Times yesterday morning after a driver drove him out of the barricaded compound, where he had returned to retrieve his belongings.
Eighty Singaporeans are employed by Drydocks' three yards in Batam. According to those interviewed, only a handful of Singaporean Indians worked in the Graha yard.
Sean, who has booked himself on a ferry back to Singapore, for the next five days at least, said: 'I want to go back and relax... see my family.'
Another Singaporean employee, a 54-year-old, said he helped to evacuate the Indians onto tugboats shipping them to safety.
He said: 'I wasn't scared because we were protected by the marine police.' He added that he too was returning to Singapore later yesterday.
But one Singaporean permanent resident, who declined to be named, looked shaken when approached yesterday at the Holiday Inn hotel in Batam.
He said: 'When things are happening, you are just thinking of trying to save what's around you and yourself.'
