What’s the latest tabloid in Singapore? 3 White British Tourists “bullying” an old trishaw driver. Honestly, this is the mildest bullying act I’ve ever seen. These guys probably were just having some fun and got a little carried away. Their only mistake was to have it recorded and uploaded it on YouTube. You can watch the video now at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB_GoQ-h9Zg.
Mr Lee, the old trishaw driver, didn’t even know he was mocked and had long forgotten about the incident and took it as one of his bad days. Honestly, there are thousands of old people in Singapore that are living a bad life just waiting for their time to return to “Neverland”. Why aren’t there anyone helping these old people before? Mr Lee received free publicity stunt without him knowing. A blessing in disguise? Now more tourists that knows about Mr Lee, might queue up and take his trishaw just to see who he is. Mr Lee is a celebritiy!
Now the guy that reposted his video of shame had even started a donation drive just for Mr Lee. Check his blog at http://helpmrlee.blogspot.com/
I was like thinking…WTF! Get a life. Is he the only one suffering? He is earning an honest living. DON’T TURN HIM INTO A BEGGAR! PLEASE! He can even get a job at McDonalds if he thinks that the trishaw business suck. Obviously he likes getting big tips once in a while. Oh yah, maybe Singapore’s Government can boost up the public assistance grant of S$290/mth to like S$500/mth (and increase the taxes to cover that extra cost?). That might be sufficient for them so that they would not need to work. But they’ll probably still be bored to death and look for something beneficial to do….
Anyway, Bo Davis, the guy who recorded the whole incident I think, said that Singapore is just making it a big issue because they are White men. What the hell?! It would be the same reaction if I uploaded my stupid acts online too. It’s just a matter of time before people get to it.
“Mr Bo Davis, did you forget that you had it screened on YouTube??? Can’t believe you are so full of yourself!”
“I know you were just having fun, but hey couldn’t you please be a little apologetic about the whole issue? Definitely, you are insensitive just like you said.”
