A SINGAPOREAN-only event embroiled in controversy after allegedly refusing to allow entry to Caucasians was funded by the Singapore government.

The event was organised by the Singapore government's Overseas Singaporean Unit at the Botanic Gardens on Saturday to celebrate Singapore Day - enabling Singaporeans to catch up on the politics, music and food of their home nation.

But it became embroiled in controversy after a Sydneysider called James rang 2GB to report he had twice been turned away from the event because he was white.

"We were just stunned and angry that this had happened to us in a public space in the middle of Sydney," James said.

"If it was a private event it should have been held in a hotel and not in a public park funded with taxpayers' money."

James said he learned about Singapore Day online and wanted to attend with his father because he has Singaporean friends and enjoys Singaporean food.

Singapore Day is an annual ticketed event which participants are required to register online in advance to attend the celebrations - which include live performances and free food stalls.

It is held for Singaporeans based abroad and is held each year in a different country.

This year's celebration in Sydney was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean.

The "Frequently Asked Questions" section of the Singapore Day website states the event is an "exclusive event for Singaporeans and their families" only.

But a spokesman for the Singaporean government said the event had been attended by "all races".

"The Singaporeans invited to the event can also bring a guest who is non-Singaporean," he said.

cheapskate angnmo just wanted to be there because it is free.

it is not angmo who are cheapskate. it is because they understand their citizenship rights in australia unlike chow sinkie.
how can chow sinkie and pap dogs organize events at public parks and for chow sinkie only?

if that is the case, do you also welcome pinoy organize pinoy noy noy events in Hong Lim Park?

It's very rare for the Spore gov't to give anything for FREE.

Were there any events held in Spore by the Spore gov't where Sporeans could enjoy FREE food

Nothing is free, these ticket holders, have their name, contact numbers, addresses recorded.....when the 'white dogs' go there, they are expected to show up....it is another wayang....those who left SINgapore are sick of the StINkerpore government, why would they want to attend their sponsored wayang??

Good for the Australian bloke, who out them in their place...and dent their boastfulness!! good job mate!

I do not speak for the organisers of the event.

To be fair, if it is a ticketed event, if ang mo has a ticket, he can go in too. To settle his claim that he was barred because of his colour, just go take a closer look at photos of the event. If there are whities around, then his claim is spurious.

Just don't be excited by this cheapo whitey who could not afford to spare a meal for his father and wanted to have a freebies meal, was twarted and thus racialise and nationalitlise the issue...

*there will be some sinkies who will be receiving a note when the pappies curtail dual citizenship...

Good for the Australian bloke, who out them in their place...and dent their boastfulness!! good job mate!

but why gate-crash when pre-reg and tics were required? this gian png ang mo could've cooked a better laksa etc with the pre-mix from the supermart and added herbs from his garden for added oomph...or he is a sinkie wannabe as he already has the kiasu traits
