A senior civil servant’s holiday trip to France has become the subject of controversy amongst Singapore’s small, but vociferous internet community.

Mr Tan Yong Soon, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources wrote a seemingly innocuous travelogue in The Straits Times Life Section on 6 December 2008 about his family holiday to Paris to learn cooking French cuisine from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu.

The 3 week lesson costs S$15,500 per all and in total S$46,500 for Mr Tan, his wife and son, not including air tickets and living expenses in France.

On the same day, the island’s blogs and internet forums were awashed with netizens criticizing Mr Tan for his “over-indulgence” and “insensitivity”.
