Rick Claypool on Pay to Play Corporate Crime Enforcement Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong warned against a recent spate of racist comments being made online, saying prejudice should not be allowed to become normalised in the multiracial city state.
Wong said in a social media post on Sunday that an “uglier side” had emerged in recent online discussions, including remarks about Singaporeans caught in deadly floods in Nepal and debate over Singapore Airlines’ potential investment in Air India.
“We can and should have robust debates,” he said. “But we should never use seemingly legitimate arguments as a cover to fuel prejudice against any community or hostility towards foreigners.”
The prime minister said racist views expressed online did not represent Singapore as a whole and warned against dismissing them as harmless. “If such behaviour goes unchecked, it can become normalised, deepen mistrust between communities, and pull us apart,” he said.
Wong’s comments followed remarks by Senior Minister K. Shanmugam on Saturday, who said police had been asked to look into the matter and would ask online platforms to remove comments that breach rules. In June, authorities ordered social media platforms to block access to 14 online posts that target the Indian community in Singapore.
