Wang Peng Fei, a 24 year old China student in a local Singaporean school was propelled into the spotlight recently when he made fun of Singaporeans through a video he uploaded on the internet. He was studying in his final year at the East Asia institute of Management and his expression of creativity caused him to be expelled from the school where he is enrolled in the hospitality course there.

In the video, which was deemed ‘racist’ was four minutes long and was made in Mandarin. He was expelled on the grounds of ‘gross misconduct’ by the East Asia Institute of Management despite apologizing on his blog after that. The act is considered to have violated a clause in his visa contract which means that apart from being revoked, it would also mean that he will not get his S$10,000 course fee for the year.

Since the case took flight, members of the public have come out to condemn his acts where a member of a political party even made a police report against Wang. Alex Tan Zhi-Xiang of the Singapore People’s Party lodged the police report against Wang for his ‘racist remarks’ against a minority group which might not amount to anything as Wang is believed to have returned to his home in China.
