A netizen shared this unhappy encounter with a racist taxi driver, who tried to make small talk but ended up appearing racist and insensitive.

A netizen thinks the majority in Singapore should be more committed to racial equality. She also raised the bigger question of why people are giving so much attention to the EP when they should be opposing the PM position instead, given that it is more politically significant and always held by a Chinese

First they introduced the racist reserved presidency. They knew that the people will oppose. So they created a distraction by having one of their unqualified dogs dropping hints that she is going to contest despite obviously being of the wrong race. But now instead of screaming that the reserved presidency is racist, the people are demanding that the candidate should be of the stated race they wanted and playing right into their hands.

So ever wonder why when people bring up discussions about race they get annoyed whenever people say #NotAllChinese but when there is a terrorist attack you see the #NotAllMuslims hashtag? This #NotAllChinese usually appears when someone brings up cases about Chinese racism. People will say not all Chinese are like that.

But I tell you ah my friends... why this Shrey problem has become a problem my friends is because you guys are not standing up for him la. Ya maybe he a little bit soft la, North Indian all soft la because we cook the dhal also must soft soft that's why. But brothers and sisters, what makes this country great is not Lee Kuan Yew (God bless, rest in peace) la. Or PAP la. Or our law la. Or anything other than the people la. It is us la guys. We are what's great about our tiny city state. The people. So guys, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian, Rojak, Nasi Lemak, Mee Pok, Briyani and others... whatever la. Let's show a bit more compassion la.
