'I wasn't aware of the real meaning behind it': SDP's Gigene Wong apologises for using racial slur on fellow candidate Ariffin Sha
Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Dr Gigene Wong has issued two public apologies after using a racial slur to describe fellow candidate Ariffin Sha during her rally speech on Saturday (April 26).
The 59-year-old referred to Ariffin as "keling", a term that is derogatory and offensive to the Indian community.
In a Facebook post later that night, Dr Wong acknowledged her error, adding that she "wasn't aware of the real meaning" behind the term.
