inSing.com - 8 hrs 42 mins agoAn event titled "Cook a pot of curry!" has gone viral on Facebook.
The public event where anyone on Facebook can join, is believed to be in response to recent news that a family of Chinese nationals complained about a local Indian family cooking curry.
According to a report in the Today newspaper on 8 August, the family of new immigrants could not stand the smell of curry. They reportedly told the Indian family, "Can you please do something? Can you don't cook curry? Can you don't eat curry?"
After mediation at the Community Mediation Centre (CMC), the two families reportedly reached a compromise. The Indian family agreed to cook curry only when the family of Chinese nationals was not home. In return, the Indian family wanted their neighbours to give curry a try.
Many netizens are in an uproar that locals have to "conform to the likes and dislikes" of new immigrants instead of the other way round.
In response, the five creators of the event are asking Singaporean to "cook a pot of curry all over the island on Sunday, 21 August, and let the aroma of curries permeate the nation".
Finally, the organisers say, "We are Singaporeans and we LOVE our curries!"
The "Cook a pot of curry" event has received nearly 24,000 attendees at the time of this article.

i have a few ways of cooking my curry. If i want Nonya style, i w add evaporated milk to my curry. I put at least 2 stalks of lemongrass. I like the smell of it in my curry. Also i will use milk instead of coconut, the curry taste different and lighter.

yahtat said, their mindset is of wanting to rule the world...

why should we Singaporeans accept their culture ? If they want to eat dog meat , spit , go back to their own country to do so. Don't dirty ours.

things are curry hot and spicy on the ground sentiments, what are our grassroot leaders doing at this hour? talking about...WE HEAR YOU?

Singapore is clearly a multi "curry" society isn't it?
The malays, chinese, Indians and even Eurasians have their own adaptions of curry in one way or another.
To go up to someone to ask them to stop cooking their curries is like going up to someone and insulting their parents. It's unruly and unjustifiable.
Having grown up in a multi cultural and racial society. All the locals understand this. However, foreigns - who mostly live in a one cultural, one race society do not.

yah now is others > chinese+malays+indians+eurasians

This i believe is more like a step towards the racial riots which we have tried so hard to prevent.
