PA cancels meeting with couple whose photo was used as standee, denies incident was racist

SINGAPORE: The People's Association has cancelled a meeting with a couple whose wedding photo was used as a cut-out standee without their permission, saying that there was"no point" in proceeding with it after comments she made on social media.

However, the grassroots organisation said that Ms Sarah had made a public call in her social media posts to"please share your messages/suggestions to PA here and we’ll share them". Ms Sarah also referenced the incident in a few Instagram stories, which the PA responded to in its statement on Monday. The assistant professor is from Nanyang Technological University's School of Social Sciences, with research areas that include religion and politics.

"We regularly reach out to numerous community partners among all our races and religions to ensure that their concerns are actively considered when designing our programmes," it added.

Can we look forward to dewaii standee and comment.. and let PA has a chance to correct themselves.

What is used here should be 'Taking and using without consent' .. i suggest whoever that person who uses the wrong 'text' racism be tutored in the word.

People are too sensitive these days.

a genuine victim from an actual error has become a Social villain due to ignorance and arrogance..fool

The couple has taken way out of context and is enjoying all the clout and attention she is getting

Don't get how this is racist. Or should a nudist couple cut out be use as a standee for Raya instead?

Nowaday.....if it is not racism....it is national securities issues. Thats sum it up.....Nothing is new now.

I don’t see the ‘racist’ angle.

👍

Cowards.
