Bomb prank by YIJC student: tongue-in-cheek or deplorable?

A widely circulated video that showed a Yishun Innova Junior College (YIJC) student dressed in an Arabian thobe (with keffiyeh draped over head) tossing an unknown black satchel into a classroom has understandably gotten many netizens riled up. The incident purportedly transpired on 21 July, when annual Racial Harmony Day was observed across Singapore - a day when students are permitted to attend classes wearing ethnic outfits. Ensuing angry chatter which erupted on social media dissed the student not unexpectedly; while some squarely blamed the school for not doing enough to pre-empt such abhorrent conduct, others attributed the offending individual's antics to him being impressionable or immature, maybe perhaps just plain attention-seeking.
