Unlucky train passengers became the captive audience of a woman infamous for harassing non-Chinese people in Singapore with racist vitriol, and her message was simple: She’s better than all of you.
Catherine Beow Tan recently gave a speech on a train heading toward Changi Airport about her racial bias in a video that surfaced yesterday in which she held up her phone while showing photos of her family and discussed their elite education backgrounds.
Tan, who the police said late last month they were investigating, explained to commuters aboard the crowded public transport that she’s not racist just classist: She doesn’t speak to working-class Chinese Singaporeans either.
“I even told the police, OK, I don’t even talk to Chinese rank-and-file like you so I can’t be racist. If I don’t talk to them, don’t expect me to talk to you,” she was heard saying in a video posted by TikTok user Lee Sin Yee. Tan was seen standing in the middle of commuters – surprisingly steady in the moving vehicle – as she went on about her millionaire brother-in-law and two nephews who were studying law.
