#550 - Grab and Trans-Cab Deal Falls Through & RI Student Dresses as Delivery Rider for Racial Harmony Day

Elsewhere, Raffles Institution has drawn flak after a photo of a student dressed as a delivery rider for Racial Harmony Day made its rounds on the internet. Was it a malicious action on the student’s part? What made the costume particularly offensive in Singapore’s context?
