A member of Complaint Singapore Facebook group posted a complaint about his experience in “Geylang Bazaar” – likely to be Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar 2019 (3 May – 5 June).
In this post, he mentioned that some inconsiderate diners (believed to be non-Muslim) are occupying or reserving tables and seats, which makes it difficult for Muslims to find a vacant table to break their fast at the “Iftar – timing for breaking fast“.
He felt that non-Muslim diners should be more thoughtful, especially during this festive month period.. However, lots of immediate comments for the said post felt otherwise..

Here is the original text extract for easy reading:
I wanna complaint and create awareness to this 3 racist idiot!!

Below are the immediate comments relating to the post, and even some from our Muslim members:
Some even praise our Muslim members for supporting racial harmony…

So is the said member bring over-sensitive or it’s a matter of self-entitlement?
Should non-Muslim diners be more considerate and “give way” to Muslims to break their fast first?
