As much as we would think of ourselves being racially tolerant, and harmoniously even, comes along a clown like the Sexy Fragrant Prince (like seriously?! It hurts, just typing out that moniker). He’s taken off the original post reeking of blatant racism towards Malays but it can be found here. The good people of Hardware Zone scare me. A very good example of online vigilante justice? Not that it is a totally bad thing though.

Latest update is that he has been arrested on seditious charges.

Seriously, are our youths having it too easy these days? Too spoilt, too pampered, to the point of idiotic narcissism. He is not the only young idiot around, whining about all manners of trivial stuff. This one whines about heartlanders (oh, the irony), Singaporeans not being like Italians “everyone.. so well dressed and well mannered” (is he for real?) Others whine and cringe about jobs when they have neither the expertise nor the experience. And then there are others.

To play the devil’s advocate, I have to, of course, offer an alternative view. Certainly I am not a tree hugging hippie who extols the virtues of one for all. Indeed, I guard my personal sphere violently and am fiercely allergic to people brushing up against me when a wide space is available. I detest bad smells and poor hygiene habits that lead to the bad smells. My point is, you can have an objection to the behaviour and the external factors in an elegant sophisticated manner, and not get crudely vulgar like what the delusional self proclaimed prince had. I would hardly think he would get arrested if he had taken offence to the lack of hygiene which might have been an inconsideration to the other passengers.

Instead, I get the impression that he has a bone to pick with the race. This is not an uneducated close-minded old man. This is a purportedly educated young man.  And as educated and informed a society as we are, this is distasteful and crass to say the least.
