The Faculty of Arts and Social Science (FASS) Dean at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has spoked on behalf of one of their students who wrote a commentary published in Today over the weekend, which is titled as “This is why I don’t want to be woke. Don’t cancel me for it” by NUS student Dana Teoh. Where she raises point on how outrage has made it extremely difficult for people to have discussion on difficult topics or even sharing their true points of view when it comes to some topic being cancelled after the society don’t accept it.
The Associate Professor Bertha Henson, who teachers Communications & New Media student in NUS said that Teoh’s write-up was actually a class assignment on how student viewed about the woke culture of today, and she found that Teoh’s script was the best out of her other 24 students’ works. And FASS Dean Robbie Goh also mentioned that he believes in a safer and conducive environment which is necessary for rigorous and intellectual debate to take place.
