Union official flees Singapore for Perth racist remark

It seems Amy Cheong's infamy has spread as far as Australia.
I was a little surprised at how quickly LHL threw her to the wolves.
A timely reminder to be careful on FB or at least use a pseudonym.

Didn't know she was Malaysia born Australian. I think 2 things made the matters worse in her case.
1) she is in a prominent position in a gahmen organisation
2) she is a foreigner
At least she could go back to her country, imagine what choices a citizen will have, no place to hide.

I don't think she's a MC anymore but your point 1 and 2 are true. She REALLY should have known better. Of course now NTUC is quite rightly under the spotlight for having a non Sinkie in this position in the first place!revhappy wrote:Didn't know she was Malaysia born Australian.

used to be a sizable population. these days, it has been watered down with other migrants. i would say in general malaysian immigrants to be more successful than singaporean immigrants.nakatago wrote:This is a serious question. What is the population density of Singaporeans and Malaysians in Perth?
also the reason for malaysian/singaporean immigrants coming to australia are different

She probably didn't get enough exposure to Malay culture before she got whisked away to the Oz. I'm saying this in assuming that she grew up in the Oz. Then, whether she was born in Malaysia or not has no significance at all to the discussion.offshoreoildude wrote:I don't think she's a MC anymore but your point 1 and 2 are true.

This is what I've read online ..
Amy Cheong, who is in her late thirties, was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but raised in Australia from the age of 8. She became an Australian citizen 10 years ago after her Malaysian passport expired.
She moved to Singapore for work shortly after and obtained permanent residency here.
