National serviceman needs maid to carry his backpack

Joule:

Side note: Maybe next time the photog can snap a picture of a man carrying handbag for his gf, then there would be a great debate about men carrying handbag for their wive / gf in Singapore...

Trust me, the image of a man carrying a woman's handbag will not cause a ruckus half as big as this one. If a man is happy to carry his darling's handbag, then it's really a private affair between the two of them.

But when a guy in army uniform allows a maid (foreigner) to carry his backpack, it becomes a national embarrassment - if there's no valid reason for him to do so - because that uniform represents our country and our pride.

men carry woman's handbag in public - oredi happening.
all dis gu niang, spoil d market! :x

Errrrrr, shouldn't be all leh ....

I did (b4 marriage) and do (at present) NOT let my DH carry my handbag.

I myself cannot tahan when I see that happening - what a sore sight !!!

But actually hor, I feel that that the guy should 'man up' and say no when asked. For those who volunteer ... well, I have nothing to say but good luck cuz you are digging your own grave

My 2 cents ....

Why in the world did his mother ask the maid to follow him in the first place? For goodness sake, that is a NS man. The maid can wash his uniform and polish his boots at home but not carry his army backpack for anyone to see...unfortunately for this young man, pic was taken. I don't ask hubby to carry my bag bcos it doesn't look nice. But perfectly ok if he carries grocery bags.

I never do that during dating, cos I know better.

But when dw was expecting, sometimes I've no choice but to do it. But I try to carry it like a MAN, muahaha.

Alamak, that's my precious bag and I love it. Why ask hubby to carry it? I would be happier and prouder if I carry my own bag while he carries grocery bags. Ok lah, maybe i will carry lighter ones. Keep his dignity as a man in public, behind closed doors and away from kids, I will scream if need to.
