Foreign student expelled for making racist video
By:
INTERNET PICTURE
A VIDEO poking fun at Singaporeans has cost a Chinese national his place at a local school.
Mr Wang Peng Fei, a 24-year-old who was in his final year studying hospitality full-time at the East Asia Institute of Management, was expelled after the comments he made in Mandarin during the four-minute video constituted to "gross misconduct" by the school.
Despite apologising on his blog on Sunday, Mr Wang also had his student visa cancelled and will not receive a refund for this year's course fees, which amount to $10,000, because the act violated a clause in his contract.

There is nothing to feel
There is nothing to feel sorry about the penalty dish out to Mr. Wang. Hope the authority concern will not entertain any appeal except some consideration on the course fees. Singapore has to to serve stern warning to non Singaporeans not to meddle with racial and political issue the very core of stability of a nation.

Don't take our hospitality for granted.
Don't mess with our proven and treasured nationhood of mutual respect to one another in ethnicity, race, language and religion.
Mess with any one of this faultlines, the boots must apply promptly!
