On Saturday, June 5th, in Singapore, a Chinese man verbally harassed an interracial couple with racist remarks. A video of the encounter has gone viral on social media. After it had been released that the Chinese man is a lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, a local post-secondary education institution, Nurul Fatimah bravely and rightly called out the Islamophobia she faced while in the lecturer's class.
