SINGAPORE — Many from around the world admire Jewel Changi Airport, especially due to the Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. But surely nobody expected that a tweet about it would inspire some right-wing trolls from the US to say what they said.
On Saturday (Jan 21), after a tweet from Hayden Clarkin @the_transit_guy, posted a video of the Rain Vortex, writing, “I’m just in awe of Singapore’s airport,” a retweet from writer Patrick Casey was, “People cite Singapore as a successful multicultural society when it’s 75% Han Chinese, 15% Malay, and 7.5% Indian—far different from America. Plus its ruling class appears to be interested in ruling well rather than attacking its majority. Food for thought!”

This tweet, as they say, brought out the crazy.
Reddit user throw_way772 posted some of the responses to Mr Casey’s tweet on r/Singapore on Monday (Jan 23), which surprised and even shocked many commenters.
Some were completely flabbergasted.
“How does the jewel fountain inspire such comments…” one asked.
Several netizens were unhappy with the comments.
We can picture others just shaking their heads.
Others, however, decided to strike back.
