The Whampoa condo incident has provoked quite the reaction among Singaporeans.
With even ministers giving their two cents on the issue.
The latest public figure to give their take on the issue is Singaporean actor Tay Ping Hui in a Facebook post.
In it, he talked about what he considers unacceptable behaviour on the part of the man who insulted the condo guards.
"One thing I learnt about decency, is that when you stay in someone’s house as a guest, you respect the host, you respect the children, and you even respect their domestic worker and whatever else is in the house. Even if you THINK you are richer or better, you do not have a right to display your arrogance."
Here is his full post in case you can't read it.
"There's a recent event that been weighing on my mind.
It's about a certain Ramesh who is making his living in my country, but thought it was ok to not only verbally abuse a poor old local uncle who was just doing his job as a security guard, but also had the pompousness to disparage 80% of my people who lived in HDB flats.
Since then, many things have been revealed about him, some even pointing to a possibility that he may have faked his qualifications.
I do not understand why he behaved the way he did. Maybe it's just poor upbringing, maybe he does feel a sense of entitlement, or maybe because Singaporeans are just too nice and letting him getting his way most of the time by being louder.

Yes Ramesh, I know you bought "your f**king property for S$1.5 million...". But really, So What?"
This is not the first time Tay has been irked by what he perceives as lack of manners.
