Alex Ong, 25, pushes elderly lady off the bus
-
Why the bus driver never chase him off the bus?
-
Telling off is one thing, but using action to push old lady is another thing. :mad: Some more the old lady could easily get injure if push off.
Should go anger management training! -
It would be good to use these recent happenings involving young people as 反面教材 for our kids. Let them see the repercussions of anti-social behaviour.

Yes! I showed my dd the video just now and she was :yikes: . Taking this opportunity to instil in her the right kind of values and morals. -
Some of you probably also see another news about a 40 yo female gorilla heating a 72 yo cleaning lady at tampines food court for being slow.
This is how it will be like when government gives subtle message that old people are useless. It creates a subtle overbearing psychological influence on people attitude. "send your parent to JB for retirement"…older people should be replaced by foreign workers…it is normal for old people scrapping cardboards for a living…
I think any of you should presson with the issue and don’t let the lazy police waive the issue away with just a warning. Physical harming to others is a serious crime and the maximum punishment isn’t a two days jail term. Anybody can just make a police report with the video clip as evidence and press on the issue. -

Dear friend, are u serious? I think respect for elders is taught in family first leh. Don't politicise the issue lah. I think the subtle msg from govt is not old people are useless but we must take care of ourselves when we old, if not our children take care, if not siblings take care...basically don't depend on govt to take care. So if we really affected by this subtle msg, den we should really take good care of our old folks right...Some of you probably also see another news about a 40 yo female gorilla heating a 72 yo cleaning lady at tampines food court for being slow.

I think this young man really got some issues. Already so much trouble liao he still write this kind of thing. Public will be even more angry with him and so doesn’t help his case if he really kena charge. Never eat medicine in the morning to control emotions.

Oh please. Do not turn an incident about an individual into a govt issue.Some of you probably also see another news about a 40 yo female gorilla heating a 72 yo cleaning lady at tampines food court for being slow.

In a way, I’m thankful for the internet, stomp,facebook and youtube. Now everybody can be a "police" for our society. If not for the fact that the incident was loaded on video, this Alex Ong would have gotten away.Also if he had not been flamed and under pressure from netizens, I doubt if he would have shown any remorse.Ditto for the cases like the foreign scholars labeling and calling Singaporeans names.
But it’s also a double-edged sword as cyber-bullying is now easy and has been known to drive some of these victims suicidal.
I guess now we parents have alot on our plates, and it’s really up to us to teach and guide our children and hopefully they’ll grow up morally sound and resilient. -

Unfortunately, government policies does have an attitudinal influence. Of course the obvious message is that one needs to work till 65 (the official retirement age) but the gov policies is contradictory, many retrenched people at age 40 can't find a job of similar pay anymore. Also, if the gov is materialistic (using ONLY quantifiables to measure success), then slowly and definitely, people will be shepharded in that direction.
