Neighbours smoke right in front of your house

Foreign Talent? Foreign...yes. Talent...hell, NO! I share the same sentiment as this contributor to today's ST Forum.

Here's another about foreign enclave. Soon there will me more of such practice.

Yeah, PAP is screwing us all over. It will get even worse after the election if people still don't wake up.

What do you do when inconsiderate CHINA neighbours go to the corridor right in front of your house to smoke?

I blast my favourite death metal at full volume, the highest I can go back at them. _|_ you to CHINA.

/rant.

Mine isn't China neighbours but local neighbours. They smoke right outside my corridor where my room is every morning. The good side is that it's my alarm to wake up to go to work, the bad side is that it stinks like hell...

and man, the smell lingers in the room like forever!

I know, right! I have to leave my fan switched on before going to work. Stupid neighbours.

i think there are a lot of people in my school harbouring anti - 'ah tiongs' attitudes in my school. while i rarely encounter them in my faculty, I had the chance of working together with quite a few of them in a overseas community project.

and i must say, these 'ah tiongs' who came with us, they do not fit into the typical ah tiong stereotype at all. they are really nice people, selfless, helpful and really sociable , can easily talk cock with. At times where it was inconvenient for us to get water or food, they readily sacrifice a portion of their food and water for us and also for the Cambodian kids. i dont see them as foreigners, they're like a fellow bro and sis.

also, On my first day in Canada as an exchange student, we got lost trying to find our apartment, and we wandered around bitter -15 degrees chill,
and it was one of these PRCs who offered to drive us around to look for our apartment. I cant thank him enough for what he did for us.

Yeah, agree with hifi_killer that not all ah thiongs (AT) are bad. I notice that those who have been in SG for some time, say 5 years, have already integrate and been assimilated into our society. Most of the time, you can hardly tell that they are AT unless you look at their names.

Of coz, there are also those who just arrived, and they treat SG as a mini China. For this group of AT, I really need more patience if I have to interact with them.

And China is a big country. I notice that the northern AT are culturally different from the southern AT. I personally find myself interacting better with the southern ATs than the nouthern ones. I guess it is becoz Singaporean Chinese are descendents of south China Chinese, so we can identify better.

Non-assimilating immigrants are everywhere. Russia, the EU, the USA just to name a few. Culturally, Singaporeans are not that far apart from the Chinese. Many of us bear a false sense of superiority to the mainland Chinese because of the social stereotype that they are a brutish bunch. This is doubtless true in many instances, however, we cannot ignore the fact that dealing with them is highly profitable. Honestly, I'd rather have to deal with Chinese immigrants than certain groups I'd rather not name. People who cannot even be deported thanks to the ECtHR, despite overwhelming evidence that they are involved in terrorist activities. Because of the fact that Singapore is a little China (don't kid yourselves, no matter how 'Western' you think you are, you're really the same as the Chinese), I don't see Chinese immigrants as a problem. They generally do not create social problems or contribute significantly to the crime rate. Your complaints of their lack of social graces is moot, if Singaporeans are unwilling to reach out to them to integrate them into our society, there is not a chance in hell that assimilation will happen.

I thought this thread was about trying to suan an inconsiderate neighbour?

Then you should go to STOMP. Plenty of suaning down there.

So it's okay to make a thread that's basically saying "fck people from china", but not to use derogatory words?

which makes me think, why the hell isn't this thread locked yet?
TS is basically a racist guy who has no balls(or common sense) to tell his neighbor to stop bloody smoking in front of his house.

 

[LadyInTears]

[faramir90]

Meh, you're lucky. I seem to be running more into the rude variant around school. Oooo, darn it. =[[

who wants to study to be a journalist nowadays when anyone can be a journalist? you just need a camera phone and a computer. command of english isnt even required anymore.

STOMP's initial goal was probably to encourage creative writing and stuff. To encourage youths to read news written by other youths, raise awareness for local news. Then came the people who took advantage of the "freedom of speech" and started all the stupid, dumb and silly things that are currently on there. Mostly whining about people doing things in public. Lack of law to protect people's privacy in public led to more innocent people getting snapped for doing things that are so ordinary but not to them. Not all China immigrants are bad. My company got 3 China programmers / 3D modelers and they're nice. But I also encounter the ugly ones on the train, buses and public places...even in the toilet, when they walk out after peeing without washing their hands.

 

[faramir90]

Agreed. But I didn't know that about STOMP. Wow. Really big diff.

And yea. Not all people from China are that bad. I guess they must have faced a cultural shock when they came to Singapore.

I think we face bigger culture shocks from them ....

Looks like someone needs to be toilet trained :/

 

[ridethetiger]

why i do agree with James p.o.v to avoid using derogatory words. Come to think of it, ts, u better don't mess with China. Because if everyone in china takes turn to spit below your flat, it will surely turn out to be a tsunami for u. Better respect quantity,u r a minority.
