Alex Tan lodged police report against NUS PRC scholar Sun Xu over alleged threat
Posted by temasektimes on February 21, 2012
Former Reform Party candidate for Ang Mo Kio GRC Alex Tan Zhi Xiang has lodged a police report this morning against NUS PRC scholar Sun Xu for allegedly ‘intimidating’ him on his microblog ‘Weibo’.A final year student in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore, Sun sparked a massive outcry among Singaporeans with his offensive remarks on there “being more dogs than humans in Singapore.”
After being told by a friend who was following his thread on ‘Weibo’ that ‘Alex’ will come after him soon, Sun declared arrogantly:
“I will wait for him (Alex) with a knife.”
Replying to the comments on the same thread, Mr Sun heaped further insults on Singaporeans, cursing them as:
“Bunch of 挫逼. My temper these days is already a lot better.”
“挫逼” is a derogatory word commonly in mainland China for cursing people, an equivalent of the Hokkien phrase ‘CCB’ used as a vulgarity in Singapore.
Sun has since change his moniker on ‘Weibo’ to “子小九日“
Alex Tan, who lodged a similar police report against another PRC student Wang Peng Fei last year for making racist remarks about Singaporeans said he is lodging the police report against Sun for issuing a death threat to him, or to be exact, under Penal Code Chapter 22 Section 506 for criminal intimidation:
“Aside from worrying about my own safety, I intend to make this police report partly because I would like to see if foreigners, especially those labelled as ‘foreign talents’, have special protection rights to law and order in Singapore.”
Though Sun has already deleted the offensive thread, he remains unrepentant and unapologetic.
When asked about the controversy by a Chinese tabloid, Sun replied nonchalantly without offering a public apology or showing any signs of remorse:
“I am only complaining. It is just a small matter and I do not want to blow it up. Anyway, I have already deleted the comment.”
Meanwhile, a friend of Sun said he is completely unfazed by the controversy because he believes NUS will not dare to take any disciplinary action against him since he is a PRC undergraduate scholar and a top student in his faculty for the last two years.
