HE'S LUCKY ITS SINGAPORE ...........

SOME clubbers at Clarke Quay were stunned when they saw a fight unfold before their eyes over the weekend.

The victim was bleeding from his nose and had blood stains on his T-shirt.

Four bouncers chased a Caucasian man out of IndoChine's The Forbidden City bar and restaurant. Then after a scuffle, the man, an expatriate, fell flat on the floor.

And the horror began.

He covered his face, rolled to his side and moaned while the four bouncers in black polo T-shirt and pants stood around him and continued kicking him.

The man went into a foetus position to avoid their blows but each time, the blows seemed to get more brutal.

This went on for more than two minutes in the shadows of the pillar in front of the already closed Coriander Leaf restaurant, in between IndoChine's The Forbidden City and Attica.

I saw it. And so did about 20 others, some of whom hurried past the violence, too scared to get involved, while others merely stared in shock.

The above report was taken from the New Paper.

According to the report, the bouncers reacted inhumanely towards the Caucasian man. The victim however, would not press chargers or even talk about the incident. The establishment where it all happen were made to look bad.

Questions:

1. Why would the victim not want to press chargers if he was innocent?
2. Why would the bouncers wanna beat up a patron he hasn't done anything wrong?
3. Why does the paper made the locals look like the bad people?
4. If it was inhumane, why didn't the reporter jump in and help the victim?

My take on this report is...... I believe the Caucasian man is a regular clubber. In fact, this may not be his first time getting into trouble with bouncers. He seems to know the drill and how the street works. I'm sure he knows how lucky he was being in Singapore, that he was still able to go home, alive. Try Amsterdam, Bangkok, Barcelona, LA, Rio and some parts of London. Those of you who was been around would agree with me how bad things are in the other side of the world.
Even in Singapore standards, that incident is considered mild.

For those of you who thinks that the bouncers reaction is inhumane and cruel...... try working in the nightlife and see what and how they treat the staffs. Imagine the staff are your daughters, wife, sister, mother.......getting insults, made fun of, inhumanely-treated by these moronic species of hell.

I'm not stereotyping that only Caucasians behave like that, but a big majority of them does, especially when they are new in town and look down on Asians. Locals do that also, especially when they think that they have 'people' to back them up.

Being in this line for the past 10 years, I have my fair share of experiences and incidents. Some of which when I think about it now, it made me laugh, ask questions and wondered why we humans behave like that.....??

There was 1 incident I remembered which made me laugh. It happened in a club I worked many years ago. A young intoxicated Chinese male slapped a bartender for not giving him 'extra' pour. After being escorted to the door, he turned violent in front of a packed entrance of the club. Started shouting his clan's 'peoms' and claim that he was known as 'Little Dragon' - the fighter from Bedok Central. Unfortunately, a bouncer punched him and he was knocked out until the police arrive.



How come 'Little Dragon' - the fighter cannot handle punch? Where were 'Little Dragon's 'people'? was it Little Dragon or Little Cicak?

For the record, 2 weeks later, 'Little Dragon' came back looking for us with 50 other people....... the full story can be found in the CID chronicles.

We're still alive...... luckily its in Singapore.
