Malaysian author Ernest Ng has gotten himself into hot water in Singapore.
His latest book, ‘My Bad Romance’, was reportedly pulled from bookshelves at all Popular Bookstores in Singapore last Wednesday.
According to Singapore’s The Straits Times, the book has reportedly received complaints that some of its content is really inappropriate for young children.
Several pictures from the book containing reference to the male genitalia reportedly made its way onto Facebook, and boy, a lot of parents are not happy:
Popular Bookstores said in a statement cited by the news portal that they took the complaints seriously and they took “immediate action to ensure that the book has been removed from our shelves”.
The company’s spokesperson added that the book, reportedly categorised under the ‘Local Interest’ catergory in the adults section, is meant for those aged 18 and above.
“In order to prevent those who do not meet the criterion from accessing the book, each copy comes with a warning label indicating its mature content,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying.
‘My Bad Romance’ is the second book in the popular ‘Bro Don’t Like That La Bro’ series.
