It's silly of China to make so many enemies at the same time. South Korea is not in dispute with China and shares a common historical grudge against Japan. Koreans are very sensitive when it comes to their territorial claims. China is too overconfident of their growing economy and military strength, and soon they will overreach.

Anyway, I would say this is a really smart move from South Korea. Last edited by maplehurry; 2013-12-08 at 17:51. |

How bad is the accident? Some say that it is very bad with the victim head seperated from the body. Well, keep calm guys, don't let racism comments put the situation into worse condition. I still need to visit Singapore in the future. |

It is a pity they didn't call the SCE to bulldoze over them. Should be a good lesson to the jaywalkers there.

I'm not a Singaporean either, but I know that these sort of things usually not triggered by a pedestrian getting hit by a bus. I'm sure there are other social issues that are brewing behind the scene and was just waiting for a let out. Perhaps a Singaporean would care to enlighten us...?

What puzzles me is why they threw stuff at the SCDF(Singapore Civil Defence Force) people trying to rescue the person who got hit by the bus (apparently pronounced dead on site)... It's still early, and the news reports have been very vague on what caused the spark that led to the rioting.
Hopefully more details will emerge to give a clearer picture on what exactly happened. On a side-note, pretty sad reading some of the racist comments in the social media. Cheers.
