of chinese worker issued with receipt containing vulgarities

Chinese worker issued with receipt containing vulgarities: A construction worker from China was given a receipt which says "F*ck U" and "F*ck your Mother". He had purchased a top-up Singtel card and asked for the receipt. See photo below.

Looking at it makes me sick. Sick with rage, disbelief, and sadness.

I arrived in Geylang yesterday afternoon for a mooncake get-together with some migrant worker friends and volunteers.

Upon arrival, I was shown this receipt, issued by a phone shop just across the road. Song (not his real name), a construction worker from China, had walked across the road to buy a top-up Singtel card. He asked for a receipt and was issued with one that says on the top, ‘F**k U’. At the bottom, it says ‘F**k your Mother’.

Song, who did not understand what it meant, brought it back and showed it to a friend, Eric. ‘What does it say?’ Song asked, ‘I don’t understand.’ Eric was shocked, and returned to the store. The store clerk denied issuing it, and denied that Song had stepped into his store.

So there we were, a team of local volunteers and a group of Chinese nationals, grappling with the spillover of this hate message that I now held in my hand, and which Eric just had the unpleasant task of explaining. I felt polluted just holding on to it.
