Back in 2012, a speeding red Ferrari sports car ran the red light at an intersection in Singapore and smashed into a taxi. The Ferrari driver was killed instantly, while the cab driver and his passenger died in hospital later.

As video footage of the accident went viral online, it sent ripples of shock and anger throughout the island republic. When it emerged that the driver of the Ferrari was an affluent financial investor who recently moved from mainland China, the outrage reached fever pitch, stoking anti-immigrant sentiments.
