It's time I go public about the acts of physical assault and harassment I had suffered the past four years in the hands of some members of the Malay community because I refused to marry my ex-neighbour, a IMH Malay man and instead had sook the help of my MPs, Prof Fatimah Lateef and Mr Goh Chok Tong.

I was then renting a room in Blk 19, Marine Terrace, #02-158 from 6/11/12 till 6/11/13. These individuals have been spreading rumours that I am racist against Malays. As a result I have suffered numerous acts of sabotage even by non-Malays.

I would like this platform for these individuals to air their grievances and over the course of the few days or even weeks I shall provide detailed accounts of the acts of assault in places like Taka Royce, Ion Zara, Raffles City.

The period of rental should have been 6/11/11 till 6/11/12. The most serious act of assault occured on the eve of Chinese New Year 2014 when I was hit on the left side of my head. A Malay stranger was following very closely behind me when I entered the Jurong Point NTUC hypermart. I stepped aside, forcing him to walk ahead. I then kicked him at his heels. He swung around and hit me very hard at the left side of my head. The police was called but they claimed the CCTV footages were not clear and the assailant walked away scot-free. I pursued the case with my MP, Mr Goh Chok Tong and demanded to view the footages. I succeeded. I went to the Jurong Police Station and there it was on the screen: the assailant hitting me so hard that my hair was sent flying.

The police said they have reclassified the case as one of "voluntarily causing hurt". They also said I would have to pursue a civil case against the assailant on my own.

I would appreciate if any legal scholar out there could advise if this is so. I would like to add that the perpetrator is my ex-neighbour on the other side, a retired police officer. He thinks that I look down on Malays in refusing to marry my IMH ex-neighbour.
