  • When the security officer outside Red Swastika Primary was almost mowed down by a Bentley insisting on entering the school, the video went viral.
  • Studies have shown that abuse of those in the service soared during the pandemic — abuse of security guards rose 30 per cent while the number of abuse cases at hospitals went up over the years.
  • Through our weekly series Unwrapped this week, TheHomeGround Asia takes a closer look at why people physically and verbally abuse others they deemed to be beneath them.

In our weekly series Unwrapped, TheHomeGround Asia takes a closer look at major stories and happenings that impact Singaporeans.

We put these acts under a microscope to decipher why.
