A video emerged online showing a student from Yishun Innova JC wearing a middle eastern costume for his school’s racial harmony day.
However, he was filmed performing racist stunts by pretending to be a terrorist, acting out scenes like planting bombs and beheading another student inside a classroom.
He was seen in the video pushing another student, who had a black bag over his head, into a classroom, and setting him down on the floor.
He then proceeded to “behead” the student with his hand, before fleeing the classroom animatedly by jumping up and down.
The “beheaded” student then fell onto the floor as though he was really beheaded and pretended to be dead.
He was also seen in the videos throwing a black bag into the classrooms, pretending to be dropping off a bomb.
Police investigating
The Singapore Police Force is looking into the incident, with the male student involved in the racist video assisting them with investigations, according to TODAY.
The Ministry of Education also confirmed that they are aware of the video with the “misbehaving student.”
MOE said that “YIJC has spoken to the student to help him understand that his actions were inappropriate, and that care and sensitivity must be exercised in Singapore’s multiracial and multireligious context.”
“The student is currently cooperating with police investigations.”
