Believe it or not, but in the land of Singapore, if you get molested, you might not be able to find help. In this rather disturbing piece of news, a sales officer was setting up a christmas tree got smack in the buttock by a caucasian man. In case readers who do not know where Orchard Tower is, it is a place where plenty of caucasians hang out to look for love. A lot of filipinos hangs around that area providing extra services to caucasian men.

Nonetheless, for security officers not to react to pleas for help, they ought to be sack. They should be sent to remedial lessons and ask if it was their mother or sisters or daughters or someone close to them that got molested, how would they feel? It is news like this that makes one’s blood boil.

Read all about it here:

EARLY last Saturday, sales officer S. M. Lim was setting up a Christmas display at the 7-Eleven store in Orchard Towers when a stranger came up from behind and slapped her on the buttocks.

When a stunned and outraged Miss Lim confronted the Caucasian man, she says that he merely ’smiled at me and asked, ‘Why? You’ve never been touched by a man before?’

Miss Lim, 24, shouted for help and then approached the security officer at Orchard Towers, a building with many pubs and bars which are popular with tourists and expatriates. She wanted him to prevent her molester from leaving and to call the police. But no one offered help.

The security officer was even ordered by his superiors to mind his own business, she says. They told Miss Lim she should have known ‘what kind of place Orchard Towers is’.

‘When the Caucasian man heard them say this, he laughed at me and walked off,’ Miss Lim said.

She lodged a police report last Monday and a CCTV recording of the molestation has been handed over to the police by 7-Eleven.

Said Miss Lim: ‘What upset me most was how the security officers refused to help.’ She has since approached the building’s manager, Chesterton International, and the security guards’ firm, King’s Security.

Chesterton International senior executive director Patrick Foong said he would contact King’s Security to find out what happened. He said: ‘We apologise if our guards didn’t seem helpful. If they are found guilty of not helping, they will be sacked.’

King’s Security declined to comment.
