A Yishun Innova Junior College (YIJC) student has been jeered online, after his antics on video showing him throwing a black bag while dressed in a keffiyeh and robe, was widely circulated on the internet.
The incident is believed to have taken place in the school on July 21, which is Racial Harmony Day -- one day a year when students are allowed to show up to class dressed in clothing that reflect the major ethnicities of Singapore to commemorate the event.
The male student involved is assisting police who are looking into the incident, according to Today.
In response, the Ministry of Education said it is aware of a video depicting a “misbehaving student” from YIJC.
MOE added: “YIJC has spoken to the student to help him understand that his actions were inappropriate, and that care and sensitivity must be exercised in Singapore’s multiracial and multireligious context.”
“The student is currently cooperating with police investigations.”
