A “sense of entitlement” and an example of “modern-day bigotry” is what Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said about a condominium resident hurling vulgarities at a security officer working at a private residence.
“What this resident did and said was wrong — at so many levels. It is these examples of modern-day bigotry and a sense of entitlement that the light of Deepavali seeks to dispel,” Tharman commented in a Facebook post on Sunday night.
On the other hand, the minister lauded the security officer for dealing with the situation in a very dignified and professional manner.
He further said the security officer filed a police report and that the police will handle the matter.
News reports on Sunday said that the resident’s employer, JP Morgan, is also looking into the matter.
JP Morgan’s Facebook page was bombarded with angry comments on the resident’s conduct and urging stern action to be taken against the employee.
The viral video on Saturday showed the resident shouting repeatedly at security officers after they told him that his guests have to pay an S$10 parking fee.
