28But it was the government which insisted that the riot was an isolated event and it should not be used to discriminate against foreigners.Saingy mikiriy ny governemanta milaza fa tranga naningana ny rotaka ary tsy tokony ampiasaina hanavakavahana vahiny.
29The government should heed its own appeal since the Liquor Control law seems to be discriminatory as it defined foreign-worker dormitories as a public space.Tokony hijery ny antsony ihany ny governemanta raha jerena ho manavakavaka ny Lalàna Manaramaso ny Zava-pisotro misy Alikaola raha namaritra ny toera-patorian'ny vahiny ho toeram-bahoaka.

31Worse, the law empowers the police to search any establishment or public space suspected of violating the provisions of the law.Mbola ratsiratsy kokoa, manome vahana ny polisy ny Lalàna ho afa-mikaroka any amin'ny toerana na seha-bahoaka ahiahiana ho manitsakitsaka ny lalàna.
32No wonder some Singaporeans are criticizing the law for being biased against the low-paid foreign workers.Tsy eritreretina ny tsikeran'ny Singaporeana sasantsasany ilày lalàna ho miangatra mamely ireo vahiny mpiasa kely karama.
33But there is a way for Singaporeans to drink in public without being caught by the police.Saingy misy ny fomba isotroana ampahibemaso hoan'ny Singaporeana tsy tratran'ny polisy.

35Drink just outside your doorstepMisotroa eo ivelan'ny tokonam-baravaranao
36Within your door is your private space right?Ny ao an-tranonao dia sehatra tsy idiran'olon-kafa sa tsy izay?
37If a policeman comes, step back inside.Raha misy polisy tonga dia mihemora ho ao an-trano.
38When they are gone, put one foot out and you are living life dangerous once again, illegally drinking in public.Rehefa lasa ry zareo dia avoahy ivelany indray ny ila-tongotrao fa mampidi-doza ny fiainanao indray ianao, misotro ampahibemaso tsy ara-dalàna
