SINGAPORE: Recent incidents of alleged racism 'go against what we stand for in Singapore', said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Jun ...

“Racial intolerance goes against our founding values as a nation and has no place in our society," Mr Chan said.

“In 1965, we declared at the founding of Singapore that we would build a nation regardless of race, language or religion. This is what distinguishes us as a people, with diverse roots but a set of forward-looking shared values.”National unity is “more important than ever” as Singapore faces the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Chan said.

“These are undoubtedly tough times and how we rise to these challenges will define us as a society – I firmly believe that it can bring out the best in us.”“Let us continue to treat one another with care and respect, regardless of race, language or religion,” he said.

Thank you Mr Chan, but first let’s get rid of the “Race” in NRIC. Let’s also get rid of SAP schools. Thank you.

the issue is that the govt response is selective and not consistent. there had been many similar incidents, uncalled for comments on other races but the G kept silent.

How you know he is Singaporean?maybe pr

'Alleged'?

It is what you stand for, when your 'utopia' was built on the broken backs of the people that are now victims of racism and you bombarded your 'privileged' citizens with propaganda by telling them that they're better. Inevitable consequence of practicing inequality.

55+ years of existence & it still happens! Your stinking little island is a failed state. Time to put it out its misery.

Time to rethink Singapore’s strategy on racial and social integration. The world is moving ahead in color / nationality / gender blindness. The state is sadly trailing behind despite claiming “first-world” developed mkt status
