Ahtong 1st Gear August 10, 2011 Share August 10, 2011 When neighbours disagree ... by Quek Sue Wen Carolyn Case 1: A family, who had just moved here from China, had resorted to mediation because they could not stand the smell of curry that their Singaporean Indian neighbours would often cook. The Indian family, who were mindful of their neighbour's aversion, had already taken to closing their doors and windows whenever they cooked the dish, but this was not enough. "They said: 'Can you please do something? Can you don't cook curry? Can you don't eat curry?'," said Madam Marcellina Giam, a Community Mediation Centre mediator. But the Indian family stood firm. In the end, Mdm Giam got the Indian family to agree to cook curry only when the Chinese family was not home. In return, they wanted their Chinese neighbours to at least give their dish a try.

Acieed 1st Gear August 15, 2011 Share August 15, 2011 I love my curry and spices, and I cook my own Kaeng Khio Wan Kai, Gyu Curry, Hainanese Curry Chicken, Ikan Chilli Garam, Udang Sambal Pedas, Mutton Masala. But I also feel Singaporeans need better communication skills. Why do we need "Mediation Centre" ? Like we've never left school, still continue with "I report to teacher then you know". Case 2: A 40-year-old sales manager was shocked to find a note posted in one of the lifts of his Telok Blangah block. The anonymous writer had complained that his children were making "ear-piercing screams everyday and making the environment very unconducive for resting". The writer said the screams were "hurting the ears" of the residents and called on the children's parents to be "socially responsible". The sales manager, who wanted only to be known as Mr Su, said he thought of responding and finding out who the letter writer was. He decided against it eventually. "I don't know why the writer had to do that, he could have approached me directly," Mr Su told Today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
