新加坡国立大学建筑系客座教授郑庆顺，于今午被警方传召问话，要他针对脸书一则贴文解释其动机。有者针对他在上月15日，一张亚美尼亚种族屠杀纪念馆照片中的图片说明而报警。 有关贴文乃是郑庆顺针对阿美尼亚种族屠杀纪念馆有感而发，提到该馆纪念1911年150万名亚美尼亚基督徒被土耳其鄂图曼，要求改教而被迫害。 就有名为阿扎哈里阿里的网民留言，批评他对“伊斯兰教作出不公平描述”，即便郑庆顺并无此意图。 郑庆顺在个人脸书贴文，提及因此事被警方传召的经历。他说，他向警方解释，其贴文属学术教育性质的，在与阿扎哈里的对话中，他也已阐明，不能仅从字面上去理解任何宗教的神圣文本，也需考量到当下的社会情景和时局，才能避免断章取义。 不过，他不确定报案者是否与阿扎哈里有关联。 “勿滥用法律对付理性学术讨论” 他说，在口供中，他也要求警察总长和国家内政部长，阐明和确立回应公众投诉的准则，“如果投诉具有显著重要，例如可能引发暴力或社会动荡，确实应立即采取行动。但若只是个人之间的小小不愉快，应该可以理性地解决。” 相对而言，只因为有些人不同意您的看法， 就造成了个人的不便。也是新加坡建筑师学会前主席的郑庆顺表示遗憾，报案者滥用警力来打击意见不同人士，他只希望法律不会被一小撮人当作针对理性学术讨论的武器，只因为他们的感受被冒犯了。现代新加坡应该足够成熟去接受各种强力而真挚的论述。 不过，他表示负责调查警方态度专业。
