In a controversial incident in Singapore, a female influencer was involved in a car accident while playing, but waited three hours for hospital treatment without being treated.
This caused resentment among female tourists, who asked whether nurses were treated differently because they were not Singaporean. Discontent gradually increased, and the female tourist eventually verbally abused the nurse because of her dissatisfaction, causing the nurse to call the police.
The dialogue between the two sides is deadlocked
During the police investigation, the female tourist refused to answer questions about whether she had abused the nurse. In addition, the female tourists suspected the identity of the investigator and asked for identification. Disagreements arose between the two sides in the dialogue, which led to an impasse in the talks.
The female tourist did not dare to admit to insulting the nurse
Although the female tourist abused the nurse at the scene, she did not dare to admit her behavior during the police investigation. This is because in Singapore, name-calling in public places faces serious consequences of fines and imprisonment. After the video of this incident was uploaded to the network, it caused criticism and controversy among domestic netizens.
Singapore's laws and circumstances are different
The incident highlighted the differences between Singapore's laws and circumstances and those of other countries. In Singapore, there are severe penalties for breaches of harassment prevention laws. At the same time, as people of different nationalities may face discrimination in Singapore, nurses may have a nationality factor when dealing with issues. Therefore, it is very important to understand the laws and cultures of different countries and to comply with local laws and customs.
