An event titled "Cook a pot of curry!" has gone viral on Facebook.
The public event where anyone on Facebook can join, is believed to be in response to recent news that a family of Chinese nationals complained about a local Indian family cooking curry.
According to a report in the Today newspaper on 8 August, the family of new immigrants could not stand the smell of curry. They reportedly told the Indian family, "Can you please do something? Can you don't cook curry? Can you don't eat curry?"
After mediation at the Community Mediation Centre (CMC), the two families reportedly reached a compromise. The Indian family agreed to cook curry only when the family of Chinese nationals was not home. In return, the Indian family wanted their neighbours to give curry a try.
Many netizens are in an uproar that locals have to "conform to the likes and dislikes" of new immigrants instead of the other way round.
In response, the five creators of the event are asking Singaporean to "cook a pot of curry all over the island on Sunday, 21 August, and let the aroma of curries permeate the nation".
Finally, the organisers say, "We are Singaporeans and we LOVE our curries!"
The "Cook a pot of curry" event has received nearly 24,000 attendees at the time of this article.
