Hi. I just want to share this experience I had last December. We were moving out of our HDB unit last December and about to hand the keys to the owner when the landlady told our agent, who was also there, that she won't return the deposit because the unit is not in the same condition as it was before.
What happened afterwards was surprising. When I offered to clean the dust, she said:
"Why don't you go back to your poor country Philippines and be a maid?"
I was shocked! I replied,
"You should apologize because this is racial discriminatory remark and the unit has nothing to do with me being a Filipino. Do you know I can complain to the police about what you said?"
She responded,
"I'm not scared of the police. I don't care about what I said because it's true. You come from the village like all the other poor Filipinos here."
The next day, I filed a police report for the racial remarks, not the money issue anymore. The day after that, I went to the subordinate courts and they scheduled a mediation for us. I kept reiterating that all I wanted is an apology for the racial discriminatory remarks she said.
Right now, I'm still waiting for the the second mediation schedule, which I'm sure she also won't cooperate.
I want to teach her a lesson that she cannot discriminate Filipinos like that.
