what Amy wrote is neither "stupid" nor "silly"...
"This confirms what I had long suspected and said: there are deep fault lines in our society, based on race/religion, Her comments reflect a deep seated racist attitude coupled with contempt for those who are less well off, or who wish to spend less."
Referring to a 2002 speech he had made in Parliament, where Mr Shanmugam urged Singaporeans to reflect on the attitudes of non Malays are towards Malays, he added: "We will be a truly civilised society only when we deep in our hearts accept everyone as equal."

Are Malays too sensitive in this case?
Seriously I don't find this is a Chinese-vs-Malay or Malay-vs-Chinese thing.
It's about a stupid woman with no thought filtering process. Even as a Chinese I cringe reading what she wrote for the world to see.
