There is Always Two Sides to a Coin.

Somebody posted a video on YouTube, 'Chinese Woman and Elderly lady quarrel' and it went viral online. It showed a young lady and an elderly lady quarreling over priority seat in SBS. Somehow I noticed majority of the netizens online were quick to jump the gun on the young PRC lady. I watched the video and realized that it didn't show the part how the commotion was triggered. It cast some doubts when I read another side of the story in the comments section of the YouTube video.

You may see the video here:-

 

A reader Mr. Terence Tan alerted me on my FB page to 'The New Paper' published today, Page 12, on 26 July 2012. I went down to obtain my copy & took a snapshot of it. You may see the pics below.

Now gentlemen and ladies, you all know the story from TNP. It is obvious there are two sides of a coin as shown in the original video, (the pre-happening scenario that is clearly missing) yet only a few netizens who spotted it & spoke up. The comments coming from some netizens I came across online are very harsh & xenophobic sentiments were seen flying around.

The young lady was clearly provoked & she retaliated back after she lost control of her emotions.I am rather 'impressed' with a Mr David Tan, 34, a senior manager who could relate very clearly what took place in SBS service 235. Got time to record video enjoy the show. Got no time to intervene nor assist the SBS driver since he (David) knew mandarin & recognized that the younger lady was very 'aggressive'. Two middle-age ladies stood between the quarreling parties and restrained the younger woman. Come on, are you a MAN?
