Former Singaporean artiste Sharon Au, who is based in Paris, France, has shared about a racist encounter, saying that it was her "first experience with such blatant intolerance". The 44-year-old wrote on Instagram on Friday (March 27) that she was in her courtyard when an elderly French man told her to "stand far away from him". Even after Au complied and retreated a metre away, he still complained that she was not standing far enough. "Go back to China," the man said, according to Au. Former Mediacorp host and actress Au left Singaporean station Mediacorp in 2018 to work as an investment director in a private equity firm based in Paris, France in October the same year.
