殖民时代老掉牙规矩?不准女佣入内 情义之家批板球俱乐部歧视

本地演员陈斌熙一家,偕同女佣到新加坡板球俱乐部,唯独女佣被拒于门外,职员声称“不允许女佣入内”,令陈斌熙感到愤慨,将此事发布在脸书,引来热议。

事件发生在上周五,陈斌熙和家人还有女佣,到历史悠久的新加坡板球俱乐部,观赏侄儿的橄榄球赛。比赛结束后,他们一家到俱乐部的维多利亚餐厅用餐。

然而,一名中年职员却告诉他:女佣不得入内,令陈斌熙对俱乐部还保留这种老掉牙的歧视,感到惊讶。他进一步询问下,职员告诉他女佣不得进入整个俱乐部的范围,还建议女佣可以到停车场等候。

陈斌熙的嫂嫂还反问“你怎么知道她不是我表妹?”职员还坚称,他们肯定知道。

陈斌熙的父亲是俱乐部会员。他把女佣作为宾客带进餐厅,也被拒绝。职员称俱乐部禁止女佣和司机踏入。

陈斌熙表示,当下他确实很生气,想到其他餐馆用餐,但考量天色已晚,年迈父亲和孩子用餐后就要回家休息,一家人还是只能那里匆匆用餐。

至于气愤的陈斌熙则散步让自己冷静下来,回来时看到女佣正抱着婴儿在俱乐部外,显得无可奈何。他们打包了女佣的晚餐。

之后数日陈斌熙仍对此事耿耿于怀,于是选择将此事公诸于众。他认为俱乐部并没明文规定禁止女佣,他在该俱乐部网站也差无此规则,如有,也应公开予众。

再者,如规则合理如要求会员穿着体面都无妨,然而限制女佣和家人用餐则显得很不公平。

客工组织:赤裸裸歧视

俱乐部的女佣禁令,也遭来本地客工组织非议。情义之家(HOME)执行董事Sheena Kanwar对此感到无法理解禁令背后的依据是什么。

另一客工权益组织客工亦重(TWC2)也认为这是赤裸裸的歧视,不该根据社会地位将人拒于门外,这是歧视和精英主义的表现。


新加坡板球俱乐部回应时表示,俱乐部的规则“获得会员的支持”,还说“会员有责任了解、服从以及确保他们的宾客也清楚规则。”
