The People’s Action Party has released a press statement involving Raeesah Khan’s comments. The PAP states: “Why does the WP still consider her worthy of consideration as an MP? This is a serious matter, which goes to the fundamental principles on which our country has been built.”

Not only are they getting involved in another Party’s internal affairs, but their comments are highly hypocritical given that past/ current party members have released statements that may be viewed as racially sensitive to some as well (a few examples listed below):

1.“Bus filled with young terrorist trainees?” - caption of photo posted by ex YPAP member, Jason Neo, of Malay children from Huda Kindergarten wearing traditional Muslim headwear

2. “We have developed a plan to tackle this challenge [foreign workers hanging around in the field]. But it takes a virus to empty the space” - Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, 2020

3. "One evening, I drove to Little India and it was pitch dark but not because there was no light, but because there were too many Indians around." - Former PAP MP Mr Choo Wee Khiang, 1992“

4. Older generation of S'poreans not ready for non-Chinese PM: Heng Swee Keat” - headline from TODAYOnline, 2019 (police report has apparently been filed for this)
