Doreen Everitt, being an expat in Singapore for the first time, had complained on NDP's facebook page that she couldn't get tickets to watch the National Day Parade and questioned why one must ballot for them.
The conversation between the Ang Moh and local netizens became increasingly heated.
One girl subsequently suggested that she could book a hotel room to watch the parade from and mistakenly wished her well on "her holiday", prompting Doreen to say this:
"I'm not on holiday, I live and work here. And like most overseas people we are here at your request to make sure your country makes money from our expertise."
And then later on:
"Your government brings us in to work here because you don't have the skills. Don't knock us because believe it or not there is more foreign money in Singapore than anything else. If we all pulled out you would be a very poor and lonely country. Be grateful that there are people like us willing to give up our country, our ways to actually come and work for you and your government. Singaporeans are not the most friendly of people to be around."
