Singapore PM Warns Against Online Racist Remarks

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong issued a warning on Sunday about a surge of racist comments circulating online. In a social media post, he highlighted that an "uglier side" had emerged in recent discussions, citing remarks directed at Singaporeans involved in the deadly floods in Nepal and comments surrounding Singapore Airlines’ potential investment in Air India. Wong stressed that prejudice should not become normalized in the multiracial city‑state and urged that robust debates can and should take place. He called for a return to civil discourse, implying that the government will monitor and address such online hostility to preserve social cohesion.
