I personally feel that the racism issue in Singapore is getting out ofcontrol. First, there was an issue on how the PRC complained about how currywas smelly. Next there was a statement made by MP Seng Han Thongthat Indians and Malays cant speak properEnglish. After that, ShimunLai referred to Indians as dogs and now, there is a full length blogpost trashing Indians by a Singaporean (Mr Stanley Hart) on his blogsaying that Indians are smelly, loud and rude.

Singapore is supposed to be a multiracial society and we are not acountry that tolerates discrimination against any race or religion.What has become of Singaporeans these days?Firstly, the government letting Shimun Lai off with just an apology isatrocious! If a harsher punishment was laid out, other Singaporeanswho even have any intentions about speaking ill or publiclyhumiliating specific races on the web would think twice.

It is high time the government does something about this issue becauseit is getting out of control and it is upsetting many people inSingapore. Even though Im away from Singapore at the moment (studyingin Perth), I came to hear about these issues of racism in oursupposedly multiracial society. How will people from other countriesrespect Singaporeans if we dont respect our own culture and beliefs?

The language that was used in Mr Stanleys blogpost was repulsive anddisrespectful to Indians and I feel that the government should dosomething about it. They should come up with a harsher punishment forpeople who discriminate and humiliate other races.
