Police investigating 'shameful' racist online comments about Nepal-Tibet disaster, Air India: SM Shanmugam
"These people should be unmasked and dealt with, rather than be allowed to hide behind online anonymity," says Senior Minister K Shanmugam.
Senior Minister K Shanmugam has called for an investigation into racist and xenophobic online comments made about the Nepal-Tibet disaster and Singapore Airlines' investment in Air India. The Ministry of Digital Development and Information will work with social media platforms to remove such comments. Shanmugam described the remarks as "shameful, nasty, totally unacceptable" and emphasized that the majority of Singaporeans do not share these views.
He also addressed recent anti-Indian comments and attacks on Singapore's multiracial society, urging authorities to take a tough stance against online anonymity and toxicity.
