after reading about this incident, I don't think that I will ever bring them to China again.

BeContented:

For me, I will not want to go China & definitely will not bring my kids along.

No need to go China. Singapore is already a mini China with the influx of immigrants :nailbite:

So true. My child's class has ~40%

I heard there are one million people from mainland China living in Singapore now.


I hope that our judicial system is fair enough to know what is right and wrong. I suspect that the judges in China are so corrupt, the judge may have been bribed by the family of the elderly so that they could win the case. When people lose faith in the judicial system, then all moral values are gone.

and yet these people (including taiwanese) like to call us, singaporeans, 没文化，没知识，没函养,没见识 etc. just because we dont know much about chinese history and dont speak mandarin as well as them.

没文化，没知识, 没见识 - IMO, perhaps to some extent we are weaker as a general but that does not make us 没函养.

Back to travelling to China, in my younger days, Great Wall of China is one place that I had set my mind to visit before I die.....but now, even this one and only place is struck off liao.

in China, they say :


Singaporean in China (mostly Chinese bizmen) : 无知
Hong Konger in China : 无情
Taiwanese in China : 无耻

Their own local Chinese : 没良心,杀人放火,六亲不认,伤天害里,违法也合法…

I would like to go to China again and I will bring my children along when they are older. It’s a complex place, no doubt about it. One should be watchful, or get a trusted guide, but I disagree that this incident shows it to be a terrible place. If it’s so terrible, there will not be an uproar in the first place. Rather the incident would have been treated as commonplace and no one would bother to report it. I believe there is societal pressure from poverty and the law is weak and fickle. As an outsider, I will not judge the 18 people.


I read the news article to my children. I highlighted what the victim’s mother said - that she refused to be disappointed by society. That is very commendable.

this case is just totally unbelievable, but what makes me absolutely speechless is that now they are actually arguing about whether the old rubbish collector lady was doing it to get PUBLICITY... :faint:

It’s the mentality of most of these prc. They are very suspicious of anyone doing some good deeds. So in china, if you see someone drop a wallet, don’t pick up for him or he may bash you up for trying to steal his wallet.

Back to the topic


what the hell the toddler’s parents are doing?

Letting a 2 year old wonder off on her own onto a road?

And for so long?
