PSC reprimands scholar

Hopefully, this is the end of the affair. From ST Forum Page (subscription required), "Scholar in blog scandal gets letter of reprimand" (Apr 26):

I REFER to the article, 'Scholar under fire for racist blog entries' (The Sunday Times, April 17). The Public Service Commission (PSC) has investigated the issue and Mr Chua Cheng Zhan has given us his explanation.

PSC does not condone the making of racist comments by its scholars. It views this matter seriously and has issued a letter of reprimand to Mr Chua. We note that Mr Chua has taken full responsibility for the comments made on his personal blog and has apologised publicly for his insensitive remarks.

UPDATE: Someone is still unhappy.
