SINGAPORE — A petition calling for an investigation into local influencer Brooke Lim’s university admissions essay to the University of California (UCLA) has been launched in light of recent plagiarism allegations surrounding her written work.

Ms Lim, who runs English tuition agency Classicle Club and is known as “sugaresque” on social media, apologised on Monday (April 24) after online users called her out last week for plagiarising a blog essay on eating disorders.
