Stefanie Sun Apologizes After Son “Sits” on Statue
Singapore’s pop‑icon Stefanie Sun has issued a heartfelt public apology after her son dramatically claimed a seat on a famed statue in the Botanic Gardens. The photo quickly sparked online debate, with netizens brandishing the phrase “lack of class” at the little boy’s bold move.
The Statue in Question
The so‑called “Chang Kuda” statue, a staple of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, became an unlikely throne for the young fan. The image showed the boy perched on its foot, as if the granite figure were a personal podium.
Fan Frowns and “Class” Critiques
Within hours, comments flooded Sun’s social‑media pages, accusing her son of mischief and unbecoming behavior. “He should know better than to sit on a public monument,” wrote one post. The buzz grew, framing the photo as a moment of “excessive excitement” rather than a rightful tradition of play.
Sun’s Sincere Response
- Posted a brief yet candid apology in Mandarin.
- Admitted the child’s enthusiasm got the better of them.
- Called for moderation and expressed regret for the mishap.
- Thanked followers for their candid reminders.
In her post, Sun wrote: “We were overly excited and sat on the statue! Everything should be done in moderation. We are sorry to have made a mistake like this. Thank you for your reminders.”
Turning a Moment into a Lesson
While the photo has stoked some debate, it also reminds us that public spaces belong to everyone—no throne, however grand, is sacrosanct enough to eclipse a lesson in humility. Sun’s acknowledgment turns the episode into a gentle, public post‑mortem, embodied with the same affection that fans have always given her music and her public persona.
