Singapore, Aug. 21 (Reuters): Indian curry is what it takes to start a mass campaign with political overtones in Singapore.
Tens of thousands of people in the Southeast Asian city-state said they would cook or eat curry today in a protest highlighting growing anger over increased immigration.
The campaign began after an immigrant family from China complained about the smell of curry from a Singaporean Indian neighbour's home and local officials brought about a compromise.
A Facebook page devoted to the row after reports were published in a local newspaper has drawn over 57,600 members, many of who said they were cooking curry today in a show of solidarity with the Indian family.
