Ong Ye Kung Praised Youth For Racially Insensitive Acts Condoned
With the latest “Black Lives Matter” movement which is spreading in the United States now. More and more people are aware of this over the racial issue and a lot of shared stories of racial insensitivity have been surfacing on all news.
Like a story which happens in 2016, when a group of Raffles Institution (RI) students celebrates their Indian friend’s birthday, it caused a great racial issue as from the photo it shows all other students with a black mask covering their face. After this photo has resurfaced on the internet, the former students in the photo have apologized for the inconsiderate incident.
Meanwhile, Ong Ye Kung (Education Minster) mentioned that these insensitive acts are not condoned in Singapore and it is a good thing for the young generation of today to gain awareness of this issue. Mr.Ong also mentioned that our situation is different as we are coming from multiracialism from far back which formed Singapore today. So it is very important for us as Singaporean to keep united as one regardless of race, language, or religion.
