a bit harsh???, well someone have to be the first and i bet the authority or instituition or persons feels uneasiness to impose such the penalty or even trial such a case, regardless of their background. What the three posted are beyond and extreme over the limit. so did the others involved. They all need to be responsible for their actions.
Casual race remarks from students to adulthood about each other will forever be there. and usually taken ad mere remarks, tossed them aside all the time.
how each individual "manage" race remarks and differences is more important. they will have to be more cautious or not say in the open harmful extreme hurting remarks so carelessly and irresponsibile except pertaining to national or social topics , crime reporting and investigation, needy assistance, help or educaton which are printed and discuss openly to address problems and improvement.
We go another country gets race remarks or treatment all the time, we don;t report to police there or write to their newpaper.
The lady that brought up the issues on dogs saliva did not manage well knowing that singapore is a multiracial and animal lover country.
She directed as religious complain rather than public health and physical safety or hygiene issue.
"knowingly that its a sensitive issues among many"
So did the editor that allowed the print. both of them equally at fault in the first place. if this were to be printed in a majority dog loving country with crazy animal activists, consequences would have been much worse.
it was a religious and race disaster print from the beginning. that should nvr be allowed
The editor and ST should be warned or even fined heavily for printing such religous and race topics. As media, they should be responsible for allowing such topics although may seem or look harmless in plain form. this form of media publishing cannot be overlooked as small matter.
it would happen again, if the any such differences topics or feedback are printed again.
" Educating "managing" remarks of all kind to all ages is the correct the way to go to prevent any such things from happening again"
