"Why No English"??

It's 2 mths + we been here.... initial stage we had been running up and down to do all kind of stuffs.. then we slow down our steps to take a breath... now we continue for the remaining issues...

Yesterday we went to city to bring my mom for the health assessment - chest xray, which is one of the procedure to follow in order to extent her visa stay for another 3 mths ... took number, wait for the queue, got it...paid and complete everything then wait for the queue for x-ray...

The radiographer is a 'ang mo' lady... she is very friendly, i accompany my mom to go in... i translated to my mom on what to do... she is very friendly... she do thing very gentle ... then done... There is another chinese young man colleague with her... after mymom turn, i guessed she wanted to take a break for lunch, etc. She informed the chinese guy that he is taking over the job ... i was waiting my mom there near the dressing room, so i can hear clearly on what they said... xray area is at the same area...

The next is a indian girl, done... then a chinese girl done, he did very fast.. then a chinese man, about 50 i guess... he cant speak english... normally the radiographer will ask 1 questions, 'Your birthday?" The man didnt answer, the young man repeated again "Your birthday?" ... silent again... The young man is not patient and said 'Ai...... your birthday?"..... after a while, i guess the chinese man said 'no english' (means he dunno english)... i heard the young chinese radiographer talked very loud , as i can hear cleary 'WHY NO ENGLISH???" ..... then he started to talk a bit impolite .... " if i say 1, do a deep breath in and hold, like this ' he do the deep breath veryloudly... and so on... said loud 'do you get it? do you understand me? ah??" ...

I actually felt very upset on hearing all these.... i felt shame on the young chinese radiographer... First, he is not professional enough to carry out his job... Then i felt he bit of 'look down' the chinese man... Actually there are a lot of chinese whom 'look down' on those chinese that cannot speak a proper english, and they forgot they are chinese... if you are chinese and you cannot speak your own mother tongue, i think he more shameful (I dont mean to all ABC , jsut for those got this kind of attitude problem) ... This young man, he can either speak politely in english if people dunno english .. but not in a impolite tune... really felt upset on this...

phew~~ time to stop as tons of household stuffs waiting for me... a bit late today :p

Very bad attitude! Same incident happen here too.. you should know what I mean. Those gov ppl will act unfriendly and scolding old auntie and uncle if they can't speak/understand BM properly. What a sad news. Yeah, I agreed with you, we should scold back the stupid people who cant speak well their own "mother tougue" language. They are not qualify to scold people as they cant even speak and understand their own language.. what a shameful guy!
