"Kenneth Paul Tan, an associate professor from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the NUS, said that while cancel culture could sometimes be 'disproportionate', it was also a reflection of 'widespread triggering of personal experiences of being bullied … in an elite society that pays the most attention to the winners and in a shallowly pragmatic one that does not care how the winners came to win'. For example, he said Khan's supporters were not simply engaging in 'tit-for-tat behaviour, but a means of drawing attention to the unfairness that opposition parties and politicians have to put up with'."
