Singapore teacher faces backlash for blasting Singaporeans on Facebook...

The Ministry of Education (MOE) posted a comment on its Facebook page yesterday afternoon, acknowledging that it is aware of Mr Gay Chao Hui's Facebook comments insulting Singaporeans.

The Ministry said that it "takes a serious view of the matter" and will look into it.

In a recent development on Saturday, Mr Gay, who is a teacher at Tampines Junior College, owned up to using his Filippino wife's Facebook account to post comments insulting Singaporeans on Member of Parliament Penny Low's Facebook page.

The Facebook posts made were in Ms Low's defence when she was caught using her iPhone during the national anthem at this year's National Day Parade. It described Singaporeans as "moronic" whose "loyalty" and "patriotism" will be dropped "at the first sign of trouble" and said Singaporean NSmen will "declare they are ready to pack up and run" when asked to fight a war.
