YP member resigns over racially inflammatory remark in Facebook
Yahoo! Singapore News, 17 Nov 2011
A Young People's Action Party (YP) member has quit the party following an uproar online over an inflammatory posting he made on Facebook.
Jason Neo had, in February, posted a picture of Malay children on a religious preschool bus with a caption saying, “"Bus filled with young t*******t trainees?”. The posting was made before he joined YP in June.
At about 3pm on Thursday, Neo, a volunteer at the Sembawang Meet-the-People sessions, issued an apology on Facebook, saying he did not intend to sow racial discord.
The post was brought to people’s attention after another Facebook user 27-year-old Noor Firdaus, spotted the picture and highlighted its derogatory remark. Full story
