2021-06-201h 36The Truly Other Podcast[Show 13] Nurul Fatimah: Calling Out Islamophobia and Racism in The ClassroomOn Saturday, June 5th, in Singapore, a Chinese man verbally harassed an interracial couple with racist remarks. A video of the encounter has gone viral on social media. After it had been released that the Chinese man is a lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, a local post-secondary education institution, Nurul Fatimah bravely and rightly called out the Islamophobia she faced while in the lecturer's class.
Today, we hold space to honour Nurul's story, and amplify the need for a continued effort in the fight against racism.
