Update:
As always, Gilbert has a great post. He highlights that stifling of criticisms would create a chilling effect that can only be detrimental to Singapore’s long-term interests. And I agree whole-heartedly.
TODAYOnline has also released a fairer and more balanced report on this incident. Kudos to them.

My words quoted in Today
Found on Today:
As noted in the Tomorrow Bulletin of Singapore Bloggers:
“Calling for his head, or asking for his scholarship to be revoked, serves no purpose. If he is truly racist, doing those things would not change his views. What it would do, however, is to make him hide those views.
“From a broader perspective, making an example of him would also do nothing to change society in general.
“Racists will always be racists, and find reasons to be racists. Only they themselves can change their minds, not us.”
The commentator then provides some wise words of caution: “What we have to be watchful for is whether his racist thoughts impact the way he acts if and when he ever attains public office.”
