A former college lecturer in Singapore has publicly apologised to an Indian-Singaporean man for making racist remarks over the latter's relationship with a non-Indian woman. On June 5, Dave Parkash, a half-Indian and half-Filipino Singaporean, was confronted by Tan Boon Lee, a former lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. When Lee saw Parkash with his girlfriend, who is half-Chinese and half-Thai, he proclaimed himself a racist and told Parkash that he was also racist for not marrying an Indian girl.
