they thought they were back home in the peopre's lepubrik of wotsit, emphasis mine:
A RETRENCHMENT exercise took a dramatic turn yesterday when two Chinese nationals had to be taken to hospital.
Panasonic AVC Networks Singapore in Bedok South had retrenched 35 Chinese nationals. It was at the third meeting with their agent in Singapore and Panasonic AVC yesterday morning that one of them, a woman aged 28, became very emotional.
She started cutting her wrist with an eyebrow shaver. A second woman, 20, started banging her head on the table soon after.
oh, and that incident where hundred's of unpaid china labourers demonstrating - including some yelling's and banner-waving's for days - in front of parliament house many many moons ago.
obviously these foreigner's don't behave like romans do. while in rome.
