I am William from Malaysia and I am writing this to remind every international student in UTAS to pay extra alert with your surrounding when you are walking back home at night. If possible, try not to go out at night, especially alone as Sandy Bay is no longer a safe suburb anymore. Maybe some of you might just having the same mindset like me, do not believe that unpleasant happenings like this will happen on us. Although I have heard a lot about the recent incidents that international students were being beaten and stabbed for no reasons but still I take this very lightly and didn’t beef up my alert or attention at all. So for those who share the same thinking as me, I advise youto be more careful from now on, don’t learn your lesson when you are already a victim, like me.
I was walking back from work yesterday night (8th of May) at around 10.30pm). In fact, I was just about 1 minute walking distance away from my house - upper view street (about 10 meters away to the roundabout). Suddenly, a very strong, tall and rugged oz youngster pulled me from behind and forced me onto the ground. Then he dragged me on both my legs into the middle of the road and moved in circle like a lunatic. I was extremely afraid and was screaming like hell. After dragging me for like 1 minute, a car (similar to Hilux) stopped at the roadside and the driver got down from the car and took my backpack. I thought the driver was coming towards to beat me together with the man who dragged me but luckily they just left me alone after taking my backpack. So I don’t really get hurt physically but mentally YES. I think this was not a robbery as they don’t even search my pocket or ask me to hand over my wallet, hp etc. They just wanna bully me by taking away my backpack. Unfortunately, I left my wallet in my backpack TT.TT
So guys, please be careful and help to spread the news around so that more people know about the seriousness of this issue as I am the 2nd victim for this week.The police asked me to inform you guys that if it is possible, try to call them at the very first moment so that they can come and inspect the surrounding of the tragedy.
For those who still don’t know the contact number of the police station, it is 000. Take care.
我并没有责怪你的意思,估计你认为我的投票可能于你的经历不一样,但澳洲真的不存在种族歧视吗?如果你觉得不存在,就给你看看一些相关报道吧
Dr Teo said his daughter had been a victim of racism.
"My daughter was just saying to me the other day, very sadly, she doesn't like Australia Day because she has in the past dressed up, got into the spirit of things, put a sticker on her face, worn the green and gold and been told by drunk Australians to go home because she looks Chinese," he said.
