So malu!

An insensitive netizen responded to last night's fatal accident along Woodlands by saying: "Hear say 2nd biker did not make it. Why infant never die?" Some have slammed the insensitive netizen for being heartless, cold-blooded and not thinking through before making commenting. Is it just that his English is not good or was he really being a prick?

Thomas Chua Poh Heng, who made insensitive comments about a traffic police and was later arrested for shoplifting, may have even threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend's separated husband. Around 2 and a half years ago, he was living with his then-girlfriend who was already separated from her husband. He got into arguments with him and repeatedly threatened him with emails that accused him of taking drugs or saying that he will hire someone to kill him. Chua had threatened the man for nearly a year. On top of that, Chua had multiple counts of reckless driving and speeding.

I was browsing the Orchard Gateway website on 26 Feb (Sun), and chanced upon this fashion advert ("Against The Norm") of a young man in a flowery shirt upside-down, with his head against the floor. This is featured on the front page, apparently to promote Orchard Gateway's men's fashion offerings at "Men's Zone @L4". http://www.orchardgateway.sg/menszone/index.php

Totally upset over what happened to a fellow mummy of a Williams Syndrome child in our WS parent support group... My friend was at a 7-11 and her child went behind the cashier's counter to play with the spinning fan. This Aunty in the pic/video scolded my friend for being an incompetent mother and said that she should have controlled him

I remember reading sometime back about people bringing into and eating outside food at a halal foodcourt at Jurong point which apparently stirred concern about the food not being halal etc and stirred comments like inconsideration and insensitivity etc etc.

Au has apologised, gracefully and sincerely, without attempting to justify what she did (which is more than I can say of those who might claim that they're being 'victimised' by political correctness and that 'people can't take a joke anymore'--or worse, say that 'I have many Indian friends so I can't be racist').

In an audience interaction segment before the start of the SEA Games opening ceremony at the National Stadium, emcee Sharon Au approached an Indian girl seated in the stands. The girl did not properly perform the act -- saying aloud a line welcoming foreign contingents (others before her didn't get it right too). Au, speaking into a mike and with the cameras trained on her, shockingly put on a strong Indian accent, and while shaking her head from right to left asked the girl: "What (Vat) happened? What happened?".
