Please pardon me while I key in my message in English as I don't have a Chinese word processor in my computer.
I cannot deny my distress as I read the posting of the thread-starter (奈何惹尘埃). Despite the conditions that provoked our thread-starter, your actions were an absolute contempt to the dignity of another fellow human being. I will be very disappointed if this is the typical behavior of a Chinese when in another country. Is the utter lack of respect for someone of a different ancestry a trademark of Chinese culture?
Please allow me to share the beliefs of the common Singaporeans. While we live in a multi cultural society, the social fabric is weaved together with fragility. We have come a long way since we obtained independence from our British colonial masters in terms of religious tolerance and racial harmony. Therefore, insulting a different race or a person who subscribes to a different religion is definately taboo and avoided at length no matter how upset we get. On top of that, our education system aims to cultivate us into learned and refined people who will never consider violence as an option to get things done. Therefore, it is imperative that our thread-starter apologizes for such a savage act and ensures that it does not happen again. There are implications of legalities towards your act of sedition. Such felony is an offence that warrants severe punitive measures. I am sure you never intended to be prosecuted and incarcerated for a moment of rashness.
I feel that you and all those who supported the use of such antics need to discipline yourself. People who need to employ the use of personal attacks, insults or violence to get a message across have very questionable integrity to begin with.
I am a Singaporean. The Malay whom you assaulted is considered my own fellow man. As much as my heart grieves with the humiliation, I shall not encourage return of an eye for an eye as vengeance leads to nothing but an endless vicious cycle. But rather beseech you to reconsider your priorities. Put yourself into the shoes of this Malay friend. How will you feel if a foreigner goes over to your country, gets provoked, bash up your people and calling your race names that will never appeal to you? Not retaliating does not mean Singaporeans are timid. But I think it can also be a reflection of our meekness and refinement. Naturally, there are those who possess a smaller threshold of tolerance within our nationality. Your controversial posting is already stirring the wrath of these people. Do not forget that Singaporeans are bilingual, comprehension of the Chinese language is not a chore to many of us. That is when things will go out of hand. The last thing we as Singaporeans want to see is a repeat of the racial riots during the infancy stages of our independence. Let us create an atmosphere of mutual respect and tolerance towards our differences and co-exist in peace.
