Singapore-based British wealth manager's Facebook posts deriding public transport commuters as poor are 'deeply offensive, wrong, and unacceptable', the city-state's foreign minister said Thursday.
Furious Internet users lashed out at Porsche-driving Anton Casey, who is married to a former Singapore beauty queen, after he referred to public transport users as 'poor people' in a post on the social network.
The 39-year-old, a Singapore permanent resident, had also referred to washing 'the stench of public transport off me' in another post.
'Like many Singaporeans, I am terribly upset and offended by what he [Casey] has posted. Deeply offensive, wrong, and unacceptable,' Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam, who is also the country's law minister, said in a post on Facebook.
