The guy is an idiot! But a silly simple man at that to shoot off his mouth. This will affect his career, and his conduct will not help his son. I feel bad for his son. However, Stomp should not have attempted to cover up (which I think was the main issue). I seriously doubt if he is playing at the top of his league in his industry. Met some of these HNW folks - honey comes out of their mouth, can talk to you about cars, art, wine auction. But what is in their hearts, who knows.
Stinky trains - be realistic - there is some truth to that. But we can improve the situation. Maybe get SAF to mandate all to shower with clean number 4 (can even institute another cooler and smarter uniform for booking out), hair combed and teeth brushed with inspection before booking out. Hey makes our guys look spiffy to the girls! This one SAF can implement very fast.
- maybe educate the foreign workers to do the same. Employers can offer small rewards (free haircut, $5 angpow) if they offer to keep their hair cut short (makes for better hygiene) no muddy shoes and clean clothes before their trip to Serangoon.
- there could be some simple etiquette lesson for public on keeping hygiene, keeping clothes from smelling etc.
In short one should listen to complaints of this guy, see where we can make simple improvements and move on.
