Standard of English in Singapore - utterly impressive.
I'm randomly surfing Yahoo! Singapore (this is my stoning time) and I came across an article talking about some video of a woman scolding MRT commuters that was uploaded on YouTube and how her alleged sister has come to her defence.
This is the article. This is the sentence that I don't understand:
Only wanting to be known as Grace, she said she recognized the woman on the video posted on YouTube as her elder sister of one year.
I read the rest of the article to see if it explains what the bolded part of the sentence means. After reading the article a few times, I'm still confused.
Maybe "Grace"'s family adopted the woman a year ago. I don't understand why a family would adopt a supposedly schizophrenic woman in her 30's at least, so maybe the article is just badly-written.
Bleah.
I'm too tired to be snarky about it or to even continue this, so that's all.
FUCKING TIRED DAMMIT.
