Policemen arresting the 16-year-old for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means yesterday morning. He allegedly stabbed the 25-year-old man in his back during a violent scuffle in the back alleyways around Lorong 30 and Lorong 32 Geylang. -- PHOTO: LIANHE WANBAO A HEATED argument which led to a violent scuffle between two males in Geylang yesterday left one of them injured.

 

The Straits Times understands that the pair, aged 25 and 16, got into a fight at about 3.30am in the back alleyways around Lorong 30 and Lorong 32 Geylang.

 

The police said the youngster was subsequently arrested at the scene for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means.

 

Evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the suspect, who is believed to be Vietnamese, was wielding a knife.

 

He had allegedly stabbed the older man in the left side of his back.

 

The victim, who had collapsed after being stabbed, was taken to Changi General Hospital by ambulance. The suspect remained at the scene to assist in police investigations for more than an hour.

 

Roads were blocked and the police were seen removing evidence from the scene, including the knife that is believed to have been used in the attack.

 

The victim is believed to be in a stable condition, and investigations are ongoing.

 

The latest incident came after 25 people were arrested last week in Geylang for a variety of criminal offences in a multi-agency enforcement operation led by the Bedok Police Division.

 

The individuals, who were rounded up by Aug 14, were suspected drug addicts, gang members, illegal cigarette-peddlers and sellers of illegal sex-enhancement products.

 

Earlier this month, two men were found badly injured in an alley off Lorong 11 Geylang. They were believed to have been in a brawl with other men. One of them later died of head injuries in hospital.

HONG KONG - Hong Kong on Monday began hearing a Philippine domestic helper's legal bid for permanent residency in the city, in a highly divisive landmark case that has sparked heated debate.

 

Rights activists have said a successful legal challenge will be a first in Asia, and a recognition of rights and equality for domestic workers, who are mainly from labour-exporting nations like the Philippines and Indonesia.

 

The case of Evangeline Banao Vallejos, a Filipina maid who has lived and worked in Hong Kong since 1986, has seen newspapers debate the rights and wrongs of the case for weeks.

 

Several people have been arrested for public order offences after supporters and protesters clashed over the issue.

 

Vallejos launched the legal battle last year after her attempts for permanent residency -- which allows a person to vote and gives them better access to public services -- were denied by the city's immigration authorities.

 

Vallejos' lawyers said in opening arguments that the authorities' refusal to grant her permanent residency was discriminatory and unconstitutional.

 

"There is no criteria (in the constitution) that any group must satisfy certain higher standards," counsel Gladys Li told the High Court, which was packed with journalists, lawyers and activists.

 

"There is no exclusion based on race, religion, nationality... or place of birth," Li added.

 

Under Hong Kong's Basic Law, the city's mini constitution, non-citizens are entitled to permanent residency if they have "ordinarily resided" in the city for a continuous seven years.

 

The immigration laws, however, specifically exclude the 292,000 foreign domestic helpers in the city as they are not considered to be ordinarily resident.

 

The case, which is expected to be heard for two days, has prompted a series of debates, with critics saying that if the court rules in favour, it will open up the floodgates to thousands of foreign maids to apply for residency.

 

The biggest pro-government party warned there would be an influx of as many as 500,000 people -- including children and spouses of foreign maids -- and it would cost an extra HK$25 billion ($3.2 billion) in social welfare spending.

 

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong said any immigration would come at the expense of local workers and forecast unemployment could jump from the current 3.5 percent to 10 percent.

 

The authorities have declined to divulge how many foreign domestic workers will be entitled to permanent residency, if Vallejos' case is upheld.

This is called citizenship by naturalization and is practised in Singapore. Having this doesn't mean all citizens must meet this requirement, it is only one of the many criteria for most countries.

 

In Hong Kong, there are also other criteria to be registered "citizens" or residents without meeting "continuous number of years". Such as "Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals" and other programs to attract talented immigrants to Hong Kong. Quite a few mainland celebrities and sportsmen have signed up for this scheme.

 

Similarly, the U.S. green card has different priority queues. If you are EB1 or EB2, chances are you can get your green card within 2-3 years or sometimes, within 1 year subject to the quota. If you are just regular professional worker on EB3, for some it may take 10 years or longer. And there is also EB5 for investors and entrepreneurs, not very different from Singapore.

 

Most FT on Q1 or P2 will not get their PR so easily now, and certainly not FW.

 

We are not the very special country like many Singaporeans like to see ourselves as, we are not the first or only one with a talent immigration scheme. We copied most of our talent scheme from the U.S. Though, we would seemed quite liberal with public housing for non-citizens and non-resident passes which is causing a huge import of foreign employees in a short time.
