MALAYSIAN INDIAN SUFFER RACIAL ABUSE IN NEW ZEALAND

Labels: ,
A New Zealand policewoman accused of racially abusing a Malaysian Indian taxi driver appeared in court on Monday.
Constable Jeanette May McNee(photo), 44, is charged with using insulting words against taxi driver, Ganesh Paramanathan, at Queenstown in New Zealand's South Island Nov 3 last year, Stuff.co.nz reported.
McNee was found guilty on one charge of offensive language stemming from the incident. 
According to stuff.co.nz, Ganesh said policewoman Jeanette May McNee, 44, told him, “F… off to India, you come here and get all the Kiwi jobs. Eat your curry. This is a Kiwi job.”
The incident took place in Rere Road, Lake Hayes Estate, after Ganesh picked up a group of six people from central Queenstown and drove to drop-off points in Quail Rise and Lake Hayes Estate.
Ganesh said, “She was pointing her finger towards my face and I pointed back at her and said, ‘Don’t be abusive and racist, I am only doing my job as a taxi driver.’
According to Ganesh, his reply got her even more riled up, and he claimed she said, “Don’t point your fingers at me.”
McNee is then alleged by Ganesh to have grabbed his left wrist, squeezing and twisting it. 
When Ganesh told her not to touch him, warning he would call police, the cab driver told the court, “She got very aggressive, she held the door open and said, ‘I am the police’.”
The trial has been picked up by several major news outlets in India and Malaysia. 
The court's verdict  remained McNee on leave without pay.
