A foreign woman used words like 'moronic' and 'incompetent' to describe
Singaporeans when she commented on MP Penny Low's Facebook page, after
the latter apologised for using her iPhone when the Anthem was being sung during the National Day Parade.
She even implied that Singaporeans are cowardly, saying that "they are ready to pack up and run" if a war were to break out.
The
comments were made when the foreign woman was apparently trying to show
her support for the MP, saying that she should ignore the comments made
by some Singaporeans, often implying that they are too ignorant and
unqualified to criticise her.
STOMPer Jean, who came across the postings online, was enraged by the foreigner's comments.
She wrote to STOMP:
"I
chanced upon some outrageous comments made by Ms Rachelle Ann Beguia
who is one of the many netizens who commented on Ms Penny Low's
Facebook.
"The discussion took off when MP Ms Low was apologising for being caught using her iPhone when the National Anthem was being played at the recent NDP. In the midst of heated discussion, Ms Beguia made a few insulting and hurtful remarks about Singaporeans.
"She
said: 'These moronic 'Singaporeans', their code, their morals, their
'loyalty' and 'patriotism'... all dropped at the first sign of
trouble... just ask any of them if they want to be excused from serving
NS and they will be the first to raise their hands... Require any of
them to serve an extra month of NS and they will riot in Singapore...
Ask them to fight a war, almost all will declare they are ready to pack
up and run.'
"Is she trying to say all our NSMEN are cowards? On what grounds was she making such accusations?
"She
further explained the followings to one of the Facebook users: 'But
when foreigners like Bangladeshi, Thais and Indians come and provide
labour for building flats and roads, you didn't seem to have complained
about it...if tomorrow the government decides to hire foreigners to
become soldiers and no more serving of NS for all men let's see if you
will make the same comment...By the way, if foreigners can come and
snatch your jobs and flats it only shows one thing.... how incompetent
you are.'
"I strongly believe she owes Singaporeans and our NSMEN
an apology. She insults our soldiers, their commitment to the nation
and the lives lost for the safe protection of her and her family to grow
up in Singapore.
"These insults are totally uncalled for."
According to STOMPer Stephanie, Ms Beguia has apologised for her comments. In her latest Facebook posting, she said:
"I
am very sorry for the insensitive comments I have posted earlier. It
was a lack of judgement. For those who have been hurt by those comments.
I am very sorry once again."
i wonder if the MP help to defend Singaporeans what the uncouth foreigner had commented?
seriously just dun bother la
everyday dig all these as if we dun have our own life to live with
If such insult is towards Malay instead of Singaporean, there will be action by the Police ?
Those foreigners have nothing much to do.
Police or Internal Security Dept not taking any action, insults will CONTINUE ON SINGAPOREAN.
There is no risk at all for insulting Singaporean.
If the top man (eg. PM) do not read such thing, and continue to read only reports on benefits of bring in Foreign talents / Foreigners, SOCIAL UNREST will continue to build up.
I was thninking PAP will come back stronger for the next election. Obviously there is no action to weed out such people.
PAP will CONTINUE to LOSE VOTE !
Yes, some other foreigners will post and have bad comments on sporean.
Are we becoming a 2nd class citizen?

The moment the foreigner use the handphone during the singing of National Anthem, the insult is already on all the singaporeans (Born here, and not naturalised).
Coupled with her lie on posting photos for her FB (which some one checked and found nothing and she should not do it in the first place), it added salt to the insult.
like that cheena men just say then apologise. purposely 1 lah. this all boils down to the open arse policies where theere is no control on the ground. simi chao tom witha harry dick can come ine, you ever notice in sg now, those weird cheena men and dont know from when 1, can come here and wonder around theplace, on social visit and come here lookin for jobs, no have create trouble and jam up our public transport systems, then now prices have toi hike, all on the expense of sgreans. not pure breed first generation sgreans they also serve NS, as commando somemore! train to rape girls. open arese policies say lah, its open arse open leg and ask to be fucked!

erm............i feel like a 3rd class citizens leh...........
This char bo po lan pa po kar chut binn.......
PUI !!!!!!
It's the PAP's policy of exalting foreigners and disparaging locally born Singaporeans which has led to the current trend.
there are more crimes committed by foreigners, such as prostitution, stealing, etc. not to mention the undesirable habits of these foreigners.
he should change his name to gay chao bye
If foreigners see that the government keep on praising foreigners and keep on criticising local citizens, the end result is that they despise the country and its people.
Mr Gay.
don;t be a wussy lah. write already must dare to admit. its youlike that who cannot get sg wife procreate things that are not this and not that. and your partner in the procreation now thing very educated can read and write and shit from the mouth can now insult MPs...never mind, just insult her why insult all sgreans? you take any sgreans who may not be as high educated as the MPs put them there to sing national anthem they also have the right of mind not to answer the phone when it rings, maybe even switch off or put it on silence.
FB rants by Pinoy: Will S'porean hubby and her lose jobs?
Singaporean teacher Mr Joachim Gay is under scrutiny by Ministry of Education, while the National Heart Centre has taken disciplinary actions against his wife, Ms Rachelle Ann Beguia, for insensitive comments posted in Ms Beguia's name on MP Penny Low's Facebook page.
Mr Gay admitted that he had made the postings with an account shared with his wife.
STOMPer FBehave hopes that this incident should be a lesson for not just the couple, but other Facebook users as well.
Said the STOMPer:
"While
the couple should face disciplinary action for this, I hope other
Facebook users, bloggers, or forum users, should also learn something
from this.
"Please think about the consequences before you post anything.
"The Internet is just another public forum, and people should be responsible for the things they post online.
"Just because you are typing it in the comfort and privacy of your home doesn't mean that your comments are private.
"Will the couple lose their jobs because of this?
"I hope not, but I hope they learn a valuable lesson from all this and move on with their lives."
did you guys see this in EDMW?
their CSI team damned tok kong!!

after reading his posting i believe its written by the husband.
husband didnt cater to wife's needs.he is also to be blamed but give them a chance.i hope hubby will be stronger to wife n make her forget bout inrternet n get a life.
