Liddat everyone with disability also must wear badge ah?
ICYMI, a woman on major PMS after being sick and feeling unlucky decided to verbally abuse a deaf and mute cleaner, drawing sharp criticisms from netizens which were quick to CSI her identity.
As the story developed, this woman by the name of Alice Fong, decided to share her side of her story. She claims she told the cleaner three times, Ah Xing:
“don’t take (my plate) away”
She added that he even glared at her!
His behaviour apparently prompted her public meltdown where she is heard on the video as saying things like”
Just because he’s old and deaf I have to give in?
Go and be a beggar, I don’t care, you took my food.
Although Ms Fong has since apologised for the angry words she used, she refused to take the blame entirely for the incident.
She said the cleaner wasn’t wearing any badge or card on him to show he’s deaf or mute.
Instead of feeling offended, the cleaner, Ah Xing, said he wasn’t angry and it was his fault at first. He will also wear a name card to let customers know he’s deaf and mute.
Do you think all people with disabilities should wear a badge or name card?

Turn it around, why didn’t Alice Feng place a label on the table space occupied by her that she’s not done, do not clear her plate. Even a tissue pack would hv suffice; every Singaporean understands the language of a tissue pack. Where’s she from anyway? Her obnoxious behaviour & inflated sense of self importance suggests a belief that she possess an affiliation not to be trifled with. The alternative is this is one deeply afflicted soul. Inner pain boiling over. My take, the latter.

Her friends feel proud of her? This case should be used as case study to teach people how to behave when encounter a similar situation.

She needs to wear a badge to show she can get angry easily and will act irrationally to people at the slightest irritation.

This incident is all about yourself and not whether that cleaner is a deaf and mute or able body person, but if you are an arrogant, unforgiving, heartless non compassionate person you should wear a badge and not the cleaner
