- Sure, I will take you there. In plenty good time for your meeting, Madam.
- Take me to National University of Singapore. Please make it fast coz I got a meeting to attend and I need to be there on time.
- Do you have a big family?
- Yes, madam, quite big family... Lucky for me, all my children big now.
- Today, young people not like us when we are young. We obey. Our parents say don’t do this, we never do. Otherwise, the cane. My father cane me, I was big enough to be married, and still got caning. My father he was very strict, and that is good thing for parents to be strict. If not, young boys and girls become very useless. Do not want to study, but run away, and go to night clubs andtake drugs and make love.
- Yes! I absolutely agree with you.
- Oh, Madam, I tell you, I myself have a daughter, a daughter I love very much, and she is so good and study hard. And I see her report cards and her teacher write ‘Good work‘ and Excellent‘ so on, so on. Oh, Madam, she my favorite child, and I ask her what she want to be after left school, and she says go to University.
- Then one day, oh Madam, it make me so angry even now-- one day, I in my taxi driving, driving along and hey! I see a girl looking like my Lay Choo, with other girls and some Europeans outside a coffee-house but I think, it cannot be Lay Choo, how can, Lay Choo is in school, and this girl is all dressed up and make-up, and very bold in her behavior, and this is not like my daughter at all.
- I drag her to my taxi and drive all the way home, and at home I thrash the stupid food and I beat her and slap her till like hell. My wife and some neighbors they pull me away, and I think if they not pull me away, I sure to kill that girl.
- I lock her up in her room for three days, and I ashamed to tell her teacher, so I just tell the teacher that Lay Choo is sick, so please to excuse her.
- If you have a daughter, don’t accept her trust. But you only do that when she wants to go out Just like my naughty daughter who really got caught. For that, I scolded her so loud that I don’t even care so I just shout.
- Here’s the payment. Thank you for sharing your story to me.
