SINGAPORE - A Chinese national is assisting police with investigations into a case where derogatory remarks were allegedly made about a Malay man in an online forum last week.

Police said today that the man is in his 20s and confirms that investigations are ongoing.

Earlier this week, the Straits Times reported that at least two reports have been lodged against the man.

The man claims to have beaten a Malay man and verbally abused him. He also described Singaporeans in unflattering terms.

The author, known only by his online name as Nai He Re Chen Ai, has since deleted his comments and posted an apology, saying that he had exaggerated the account of what happened.

Are Singaporeans the most ‘disgusting’ people?

Are Singaporeans the most "disgusting and "irritating" bunch of people around?

Well, users of one blog in Chinese seem to think so.

The blog 'Lion City Life', which is supposedly frequented by foreign nationals from China based in Singapore, had conducted a poll seeking feedback from respondents on the most "disgusting and "irritating" people.

Believed to be a poll starter, a person with the moniker of "sayangweiwei" had asked in Chinese, "Having been in Singapore, all must have met people from other countries. Which country's people are the most disgusting and irritating?"

Eight choices were provided, namely: Singaporean, Filipino, Malays, Malaysian, Japanese, Chinese (China), Korean and Indian.

According to socio-political website Temasek Review, the results as reflected on Thursday showed that Singaporeans were voted as the most "disgusting and irritating" people with 48.15 percent of the votes, followed by Filipinos and Malays who garnered 7.41 percent and 5.94 percent of the votes, respectively.

When Yahoo! Singapore tried to visit the site on Friday, the blog had been taken down.

This "poll" comes as a German TV variety show Galileo attracted attention here for tongue-in-cheek references to Singaporeans' way of life.

In an episode aired in early May this year, the show's host had said, "Singaporeans are not just crazy, they are tremendously crazy."

PAP is telling Sporeans to welcome all these foreigners with open arms.

What have they been telling foreigners
I think they've forgotten to tell these foreigners they are guests & as guests they should behave appropriately

The poll results are correct. Sinkies are the only people I know who do not know how to protect their own turf and will willingly let others trample all over them in their own country with a smile.
