Unpleasant Train Ride

Witnessed an unpleasant incident on the train last evening. I boarded the train @ Orchard MRT.. There was an indian man talking to 2 young chinese lads on the train. Initially, thot he was being frenly to the foreigners, telling them about S'pore.
Boy, was i totally wrong!!
He was actually verbally abusing the 2 chinese lads who couldn't understand half of what he was saying. He was saying things like "What is our govt doing letting you china people who can't speak proper english working in a german company? It's F****ing wrong, man!" He even used the hokkien expletives on the 2 guys.
It was really uncomfortable for the rest of the commuters (mostly locals) who understood what he was doing to the 2 guys, but no one stopped him. Thankfully, that weirdo alighted at the 3rd station.
Felt sorry for the 2 china guys, who were not quite sure what's going on. They looked like they're pretty new to S'pore, orientating themselves with the subway system. Felt really ashamed that no one manage to muster the courage to tell that weirdo to shut the F*** up...

Real weirdo. Most (me included) would rather mind our own biz instead of interfering for fear that we become his next target.
Just as well those 2 did not understand, so they couldnt be offended.
