The People's Power Party (PPP) has urged the public to «maintain basic decorum» as the «election fever» heats up. This statement comes after racist remarks were made against the party's new member Vere Nathan, who is Chinese-Indian. In a Facebook post on Monday (March 17), PPP Secretary General Goh Meng Seng said that the party had been alerted to derogatory racist remarks against Nathan. These remarks were made by a commenter by the name of Steven Lim under a video posted to 8World's Facebook page, which showed PPP members visiting Chong Pang estate in Nee Soon GRC. In the video, the 27-year-old, who is an operations executive in a landscaping company, spoke about his reason for joining politics. «Especially (after) what happened during the pandemic, I became more concerned about politics... so I thought it was necessary to get involved and see what I can do as an individual to help my country,» he said. Nathan added, while speaking in a mix of Chinese and English, that he hoped to help everyone and improve their standard of living. Read more
