DISGUSTED!

I was utterly disgusted by an incident that happened a few days ago regarding a racial comment posted on Facebook. The person commented something offensive about the Malay Wedding held at the void deck of our HDB flats.

I was quite piss because the comment was not made by any teenager or young adult. It is made by an assistant director from membership division of National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). I wonder how a person with such attitude can be an assistant director, further more an assistant director from membership division of NTUC.

There might be differences in races, cultures and religions. We have our resentments but living in a multi-racial country, we need to compromise and accommodate each other. We must be more sensitive to what we say and the feelings of our fellow Singaporeans.

Lastly, I still cherish this multi-racial relationship in Singapore and

"Bitch about it some other place but not all over the web."
