Wah, this one really can make your blood boil. Here is the breakdown kopi-style for you:
Who kena?
A 25-year-old Singaporean Indian university student named Dinesh (TikTok handle @dineshthebigbaby_).
What happened?
Dinesh and his Indian friend were taking the lift down during a class break. Then a group of male international students from China entered the lift.
The Drama:
The Gap: First thing Dinesh noticed was these China students purposely left a super wide space between themselves and the Indian guys, even though the lift was getting crowded.
The “Secret” Talk: One of the China students looked at Dinesh and asked his friend in Mandarin: “Do you think they understand Chinese?” Little did they know, Dinesh actually speaks fluent Mandarin.
The Insults: Thinking they were safe, the students started shitting on Indians in Mandarin. They said Indians are “disgusting,” called them a “problem,” and complained they were “overrunning the country.”
The Ultimate Audacity: When the lift door opened, one guy even asked, “Should I kick them out? They don’t even deserve to be here.” His friend just told him to lower his voice and laughed.
Why Dinesh never fight back on the spot?
Dinesh explained he suffers from severe anxiety. At that moment, his whole body started shaking from the adrenaline and anxiety, so he couldn’t bring himself to confront them. He felt very bad and kept blaming himself after that.
The Aftermath:
Dinesh made a TikTok video slamming these foreigners for having the cheek to look down on locals in our own country, especially when they are living off their parents’ money here. He has since reported the whole thing to his university’s student services, and they are investigating.
Netizens are completely on his side, praising him for speaking up online and supporting him because nobody deserves to face that kind of rubbish at home.
