SINGAPORE: Singapore’s leading government investment company targeted posts on social media targeting its Indian employees, calling it a “divisive, racist campaign” and said it would promote hatred and intolerance. In a statement posted online on Friday, Temasek Holdings said it has its roots in Singapore, where there is no place for hate speech, racism, or racial hatred towards unknown people.
“Some of our Indian colleagues were targeted on social media through a divisive, racist campaign,” the global investor company said. We are very angry with these fake claims. Singaporeans among us are also ashamed of such hateful behavior on Singapore’s social media. We are with our colleagues who were dragged into it without any fault. “
According to the Straits Times, there were a few posts on Facebook in recent days that revealed the LinkedIn profiles of some employees of Temasek and their academic qualifications to question why foreigners, rather than locals, sit at the company’s top positions. Huh. Temasek said it has informed Facebook about these posts that blatantly violates the social media platform’s hate-hate speech guidelines.
