Her views are probably common for many condo dwellers who just think they are better because they have more money. Singapore is a money focused culture. You are worth as much as you earn and posses. What is new and indicates more serious issues is that she wants the government to step in to solve it :)
I wouldn't be surprised if there were others who shared this view, but what is shocking is that she would dare to say this publicly. Does she not understand how social media works? There's nothing she can ever do to take those words back.

I don't think she cares.

Going by the wording, I suspect this lady has some issues and I think it's best that she be left alone to resolve them without being 'doxed' by 'internet sleuths' living in the Singapore equivalent of their mom's basement.
Yeah I don't think she deserves to be hounded online for her views, but to be fair she wasn't doxxed, she posted this on her own LinkedIn profile. Unfortunately, what she said apparently hit a nerve with some people and they had a knee-jerk defensive reaction. Hard to think when emotions get in the way.

I think she will when she eventually snaps out of this episode, and realizes the damage it's done to her both socially and professionally.

Well, when your views are classist, and explicitly attack a large majority of the population, what do you expect?
