Tay Ping Hui: Voices of people need to be heeded on 13 March where Sun Xu’s fate will be decided

With NUS PRC scholar Sun Xu due to attend a disciplinary hearing tomorrow, Young PAP member and MediaCorp actor Tay Ping Hui has implored the authorities to heed the voices of the people.
MOE and NUS have been dragging their feet over Sun Xu’s case in the hope that Singaporeans will forget about the incident by now, one month after Sun Xu posted a derogatory comment about Singaporeans on his Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo on 18 February this year.
In a tweet posted last night, Tay Ping Hui wrote:
Let us not forget that 13th March is coming. Why significant? Because the peoples’ voices need to be heeded.”
A final year student in Mechanical Engineering at NUS, Sun Xu triggered nationwide outrage with his now infamous remarks on there ‘being more dogs than humans in Singapore’, prompting many Singaporeans to call for his scholarship to be revoked, including Tay Ping Hui who openly called him an ‘impertinent ingrate’.
Despite keeping a low profile in the last few weeks, Singaporeans remain fixated on the saga with some netizens predicting Sun Xu’s eventual fate today even before the disciplinary hearing is convened.
Though the majority of netizens want Sun Xu’s scholarship to be revoked and NUS to expel, few believe NUS will do so with many predicting that he will be let off with simply a ‘stern warning’ which will have no impact on his scholarship.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) which administered Sun Xu’s scholarship, has already passed the ‘baton’ over to NUS, saying that its scholarship administrators will “take reference from findings of disciplinary proceedings by the National University of Singapore (NUS), where Mr Sun is studying, before recommending what action to take.”
