Alex Ong, 25, pushes elderly lady off the bus

[Ichigokun]

When he said "take a knife to kill a chinaman", that’s just retarded cos he’s simply creating another problem while trying to "apologize".


When he tried to "apologize", he aggravated another group of PRC people.

Well, but I mean, PRC people did insult us Singaporeans before, but at least we don’t have such thoughts to take a knife to kill them…

I was reading the news the other day. A Taiwanese author called Singaporeans stupid, PRC people as unpredictable, Taiwanese people as blur and Hong Kong people as rude.

Oh, if that’s so, what is that filthy writer trying to say? He’s perfect? C’mon, nobody’s perfect. What an idiot! That Taiwanese author totally pissed me off.

The Taiwanese author ended with

"So I stayed in Taiwan. Because Taiwanese are all blur and gullible."

WTH?! He’s insulting the country he grew up in, that fed him, that nursed him into an author earning big bucks and now he’s biting the hand that fed him.

So says a Chinese phrase, 这种人就是忘恩负义。

OMG ! How could he do that !!! :mad:


They should insist that he get off the bus instead ! :rant: :mad:

That was what the uncle that pushed Alex back said. That Alex Ong :censored: still go back to his seat like machiam nothing happen liddat.

Lame excuse to said that he has depression and expects everyone to know how he feels for being depressed.


Doesn’t mean having depression have every rights to behave that way and expected to be forgiven. If that is the case, why don’t just admit to IMH to prevent being a menace to the public.

DS3 was fuming mad when he came back from school yesterday. What happened was an old lady entered the lift before him. DS3's hands were full as he was carrying his NPCC uniform and boots. The old lady ranted at him and made remarks like \"I'm not a lift attendant, don't expect me to hold the lift for you. You are a school boy in uniform and show such behaviour.\" DS3 was :? She wasn't pressing the button to hold the lift for him. It was just the lift door was still open when DS3 entered. DS3 chose to keep quiet and bear with it. I told him that he did the right thing and did not :pokeeye: :pokeeye: . However, he was :rant: :mad: :stompfeet: deep inside as he felt insulted. Sometimes we must reflect on ourselves to see whether our behaviour do irritate others. I'm not siding with Alex Ong. What he did was wrong whether provoked or not. I'm saying that all of us should put in extra effort to make Singapore a gracious society and a better place for our children to grow up in.

going by what he said, means whoever is depressed / feeling lousy inside …

gives them the right to bully and push frail old elderly folks down the bus ? Ridiculous !

his mentality & attitude all wrong !

everyday, there are lots of people getting depressed, besides him.
but we don’t see people bullying old folks like that.

Hi,

When u snap, u snap. Anything anywhere couold trigger it.

And maybe u would like to erase the word I had xed out above in your original posr.

A kid shouldn't be using such words even if it is 2012 now.

some old folks are a bit cranky.
Perhaps because they are very lonely - their spouse died, their children hardly visit them or they still single, never married. Just tell your son to ignore what she said. Take it that she's old and cranky, ignore her irritating remarks.

Like the way you put it across as a gentle reminder to Ichigokun, you must be a very patient mum to your kids.
Gotta to learn from you.

agree, there are seniors who are really cranky and I have to really keep my cool in case people accuse me of bullying them. there is this old lady whom I meet many times in the wet market and she will bulldoze her way through the crowd with her market trolley and use her hand to shoo people to one side as she passes by. Once her trolley knocked into my right leg but she gave me a 'siam lah' look when I looked back at her. Also another senior on wheelchair will use her walking stick to hit your legs if you are blocking their way.

From the video, it is quite clear that this guy is indeed autistic. Unfortunately his parents failed in guiding him. It is real tough to teach an autistic kid. They have zero social skill. They will not hold back their inner feeling and act according to their thoughts - which can be violent. Unless they are drilled from young, the way that guy has behaved should be considered quite normal, coming from a person with autism. His blog also shows that he is speaking from his heart. I believe under favourable condition he is quite independent and ok. He probably snap due to some unhappiness and he was speaking from his heart - they don’t know how to tell lies.


A friend told me that she had to remind her boy (everyday) for 4 years "to wait for the teacher to finish before he can leave the class, even though the school bell had rung". Finally, it becomes a norm that he accepted and followed.

Every simple social norm must be instilled through repetitive reminders. It must start from a very young age. Unfortunately, most parents here are unaware and let the autistic kid grow up without any "social training".

Another friend’s kid, a very quiet boy, beat up the school teacher (quite badly). It happened out of the blue - nobody would ever dream of such thing coming from him. He was pressurised by exam but the teacher was scolding the class for not studying. He had put in lots of effort and felt being wrongly accused for being lazy.

Try getting to know the problem of autism and we will be more understanding and forgiving. Maybe try volunteering in Minds, it will be an eye opener on how violent autistic people can be, specially if they grow up without proper guidance from young.
