Did SEA Games emcee make racist comment before opening ceremony?

Yahoo Newsroom

The glittering SEA Games opening ceremony on Friday night seems to be marred by a spot of controversy.

Emcee Sharon Au could have ruffled some feathers with an inappropriate exchange with a young member of the audience during the ceremony's pre-show segment.

Journalist Bhavan Jaipragas, who was covering the event, posted about the incident on his Facebook page.

Au and her fellow emcees, Chua Enlai and Nikki Muller, were trying to encourage audience members to say the phrase “Hello [name of country], welcome to Singapore” to welcome the overseas delegates as they marched into the stadium.

"In an audience interaction segment before the start of the SEA Games opening ceremony at the National Stadium, emcee Sharon Au approached an Indian girl seated in the stands. The girl did not perform the act as instructed (as did others before her). Au, speaking into a mike and with the cameras trained on her, shockingly put on a strong Indian accent, and while shaking her head from right to left asked the girl: 'What (Vat) happened? What happened?'” he wrote.

Bhavan also added that Au made fun of the girl’s name.

News agency AFP said Au "asked a small, ethnic Indian girl in the crowd to speak, and then mocked her accent".

The exchange happened at about 7.45pm, before the live broadcast of the SEA Games opening ceremony.

Yahoo Singapore understands that the SEA Games organising committee (SINGSOC) is aware of the incident and has contacted them for a response.

it's always a mistake for any emcee to try to get an ah neh or ah tiong to participate or volunteer without paying them first.

As the emcee of the host country Au should have exhibited better sense. Race and religion are sensitive issues. While the incident under discussion could be dismissed as trivial by those who have a higher tolerance for insults, the offended parties will not see it in that light. Remember how the Chinese reacted in 2011 when Chinese President Hu Jin Tao visited USA and radio host Rush Limbaugh mocked Hu's accent as "ching chong, ching chong, cha". The rest is history.

SINGAPORE: Sharon Au, one of the emcees for the 2015 SEA Games Opening Ceremony, has apologised for her actions, deemed insensitive.

In an audience interaction segment before the ceremony proper on Friday night (Jun 5), Au approached an Indian girl and after speaking to her, put on a strong Indian accent. Posting on Facebook, AFP journalist Bhavan Jaipragas branded the move as a display of "racism", saying Au also "made fun" of the girl's name, and that an apology was due from Games organisers and Au herself.

In a Facebook post on Saturday morning, Au acknowledged the incident. "Some of you may have watched the pre-show and heard my attempt at mimicking an Indian accent," she wrote. "It was intended to be comic but in hindsight I realise how insensitive it was. I sincerely apologise to those whom I’ve inadvertently offended."

Mr Jaipragas later edited his Facebook post and said it was "gracious of her to put her hands up and admit that she was wrong". "I hope Facebook users will join me in putting this episode behind us," he added.
