@Babe:Glad that police are investigating nasty racist remarks that threaten our racial harmony.
@Babe:Inciting racial hatred or discord is illegal in Singapore, and authorities enforce strict penalties to protect public safety and social stability as outlined by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The Legal Framework
Penal Code: Section 298A makes it a crime to promote enmity between different groups on the grounds of race or do acts prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony. Offenders can face up to three years in prison and fines.
New Laws: Singapore introduced the Maintenance of Racial Harmony Bill to strengthen government powers. It adds measures like restraining orders and community remedial actions instead of just court punishments

Comments on WP Kenneth Tiong Air India post.
1. Government and politicians should not comment on commercial decisions that will be color by political considerations. It should be left to the shareholders of SIA.
2. Temasek don't make cheque to Air India - it is SIA.

None of politicians business to interfere in commercial decisions by SIA.

Other comments:-
@mrlorenzomatterhorn:The racist remarks during the Nepal flood discussion were unacceptable, but the Government cannot keep pretending that the growing anger and resentment appeared out of nowhere. For years, Singaporeans have raised concerns about CECA, immigration, foreign manpower, job competition and whether citizens are truly being prioritised, only to feel that their concerns are dismissed, lectured away or conveniently branded as xenophobia. That is a serious failure of political leadership. When legitimate grievances are repeatedly brushed aside instead of confronted openly, frustration festers, trust collapses and eventually some people lash out in ugly and unacceptable ways. Racists must be responsible for their own words, but the Government must also answer for creating an environment in which public frustration has been allowed to reach boiling point. You cannot suppress a difficult debate for years and then act shocked when anger explodes. Condemning racism is easy; addressing the policies, anxieties and loss of trust feeding the anger requires political courage. On that, the Government has failed badly.
@Fakir:Notice how this argument hasn't lifted a finger to mention who actually makes up the largest group of foreign workers in Singapore? If this outcry were truly about job competition, the focus would be on Malaysians, particularly ethnic Chinese, who form the overwhelming majority of the cross-border workforce.Instead, the focus is hyper-fixated exclusively on CECA and the Indian community. Leaving out the biggest demographic piece of the puzzle shows exactly what this narrative is trying to do—it isn't a genuine concern about local jobs, but a targeted attempt to stir up resentment against one specific group. An "honest debate" cannot be claimed while deliberately hiding the most important facts. And yes the government has failed for not highlighting the actual data of who has been stealing your lunch.
@mrlorenzomatterhorn:This is an embarrassingly crude rebuttal that confuses raw headcount with economic impact. Nobody needs a calculator to know there are huge numbers of Malaysians and other foreigners working here; that was never the argument. The CECA controversy is specifically about competition for scarce, well-paid PMET positions, hiring practices, intra-company transfers and the perception that foreign professional networks can reproduce themselves while qualified Singaporeans struggle to break in. So shouting “but there are more Malaysians!” is about as intelligent as saying there are more cleaners than CEOs, therefore cleaners have greater influence over the corporate labour market. And dragging racism into every criticism is the ultimate intellectual escape hatch: when you cannot rebut concerns about jobs, fairness and enforcement, accuse the critics of xenophobia and hope moral outrage substitutes for evidence. Singaporeans don’t need lectures or statistical smoke screens; they deserve evidence that hiring is genuinely meritocratic and citizens are not being systematically disadvantaged. 😂😂😂😁😁😁
@Fakir:To claim this is a simple mix-up between raw headcount and high-level economic impact completely misses the mark, as the comparison to "cleaners versus CEOs" simply does not hold water [MTI]. It assumes the massive Malaysian workforce consists only of low-wage labour, when in reality, thousands of professionals crossing the causeway every day occupy highly paid, corporate PMET positions and establish vast professional networks [MTI]. Curiously, not a single finger is lifted to protest against them, nor is there any public anxiety directed at these regional groups reproducing their own corporate networks. By hyper-fixating relentlessly on the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) and the Indian minority while turning a completely blind eye to a much larger influx of corporate talent, this narrative betrays its true nature [MTI]. When an economic argument relies entirely on selective panic over one specific community, it stops being a genuine crusade for meritocracy or local jobs—it becomes a textbook case of targeted hostility disguised as economic anxiety.
@mrlorenzomatterhorn:What a wonderfully convenient argument: because Malaysians also hold PMET jobs, apparently nobody is allowed to question CECA-related hiring patterns without being branded a xenophobe. That is not serious reasoning; it is whataboutism dressed up as moral superiority. If Malaysians, Indians or any other nationality form closed hiring networks, practise discriminatory recruitment or disproportionately crowd Singaporeans out of particular sectors, scrutinise them all. The nationality is irrelevant; the principle is the same. And the irony is spectacular: Singapore’s own COMPASS framework explicitly considers nationality diversity in firms’ PMET workforces, so apparently examining workforce concentration is legitimate when MOM does it but suddenly becomes “targeted hostility” when Singaporeans ask uncomfortable questions. Stop weaponising accusations of racism to dodge the substantive issue. “But Malaysians!” is not a rebuttal to concerns about CECA or hiring practices; it is a giant flashing sign saying you cannot answer them. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Fakir:To weaponise the COMPASS framework as a defence of this narrative is a spectacular own goal, because the system explicitly invalidates the fixated grievance. If the concern were genuinely about objective policy frameworks like MOM’s COMPASS criteria—which systematically penalises any firm where a single foreign nationality exceeds 25% of the PMET workforce by awarding zero points [MOM]—the public outcry would be applied evenly across the board. Instead, while foreign employment passes require strict, age-progressive minimums like S$5,600 to S$6,200 to match top local earners [Singapore EDB], the total absence of public scrutiny directed at the massive, concentrated regional PMET demographic proves this isn't a principled stand on workforce concentration. It is textbook whataboutism used to camouflage selective hostility against the Indian minority. Conflating state-enforced, data-driven diversity regulation with targeted online vitriol doesn't make the argument intellectual—it simply confirms that policy jargon is being used as a shield to excuse a blatant double standard.
@mrlorenzomatterhorn:Why you keep repeating same thing 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

An estimated 1.13 million to 1.18 million Malaysians live and work in Singapore, while Indian nationals account for roughly 44,000 to 50,000 skilled professional Employment Pass (EP) holders.
- roughly 350,000 to 400,000+) of Malaysians in Singapore fill skilled and PMET-equivalent roles.
@Babe:Malaysians are 10 times more in PMETs jobs compare to Ceca PMETs.Debate, debate with facts - not with brute force colored by race.
@Babe:Misrepresentations of Ceca have caused unnecessary public concern: PM Lee | The Straits Times
@Babe:1. There is a need to unmask those people that make nasty racist comments in the social media.
2. Unmask those from Singapore.
3. Unmask those who are Foreigners.
4. Uncover the root cause of racial slur and nip it from the bud.
5. Singapore should not allow racial harmony to be compromised.
@Babe:We do not want to see the 1960s racial riot coming back into Singapore.
I think is time for MHA to act and unmask those people - Locals and Foreigners stirring up racial disharmony in Singapore.
@Babe:Taken aback to see those nasty comments when family members are in distress worrying about the whereabout of their loved ones.
The comments are not only insensitive and inappropriate, it is down right cruel and devoid of compassion - cannot imagine those words come from fellow human beings mouth when peer beings are in danger and in distress.

Exact comments by WP Kenneth Tiong on SIA investment in Air India.
- On Temasek and SIA: "I will not support, nor expect, any future use of Temasek's funds to prop up Air India via Singapore Airlines. If Singapore Airlines wants to continue its bet on Air India, it should do so on its own two feet, and not on Temasek's."
- On Financial Impact: "Whichever of the two writes the cheque, it will have a significant impact on Temasek."
- On the Airline: "No one, least of all Singaporeans, owes Air India a living."
@Babe: Kenneth Tiong is not asking a legitimate question about SIA investment in Air India.
He is directly interfering into the commercial decisions by SIA even though he has no experience in airline business.
Temasek and GIC investment in India and the rest of the world are making very good profit.

@Babe:Temasek's investments in India have been highly profitable, ranking as the Singapore state investor's best-performing market globally over the past decade.
Portfolio and PerformanceTop Market: India is Temasek's top-performing geographic market on a 10-year basis.
Portfolio Size: India accounts for about 7% of Temasek's global portfolio, representing an exposure of roughly US$40 billion.
Recent Success: Temasek recently experienced a strong market streak as several portfolio holdings, including Shiprocket, surged following their market debuts.
Capital Deployment: The firm deployed nearly US$9 billion in India over a three-year period and plans to invest up to US$10 billion more.

@Babe:Kenneth Tiong has no strategic depth in many of the issues he raised in Parliament and outside of Parliament - but spark many serious issues.
WP Kenneth Tiong asked to do his homework about SIA investment in Air India.
PM Lawrence Wong - Legitimate question versus mask prejudice.
@Babe:If we allowed such racist sentiment go unchallenged and not stop at its track, Singapore could go down the path of racial disharmony and our many decades of peace since independence will be shattered.
Hence there is a need to unmask :-
1. Locals that fan the racist sentiment.
2. Foreigners that fan racist sentiment, and activate diplomatic channels to catch those culprits.
We must never let this racists destroy Singapore peace and prosperity.

@pokefriend17:Let Singaporeans have a referendum see how many percent vote affirmatively to increase Air India investment using SIA or SG funds, SIR !
@Ommit1202:So for every commercial decision, we need a referendum? So free ah?
@Babe:Commerical decision should not be left to people referendum.
You are abusing the political process.

SM Shanmugam very detail explanation if SIA investment in Air India.
====
SM Lee - troubling to see racial hatred speeches following Nepal disaster.
@Babe:Singapore Airlines (SIA) invested in Air India to gain direct access to India's massive domestic aviation market and expand its multi-hub strategy.
The Rationale for Investment
No Domestic Market: Singapore is a small city-state with no domestic flights. SIA needs foreign markets to grow.
Huge Growth in India: India is the world's third-largest aviation market with over 1.4 billion people.
Multi-Hub Strategy: SIA uses Air India to capture domestic and international traffic within India, complementing its main hub at Changi Airport.
Vistara Merger: Following the merger of Vistara into Air India in November 2024, SIA holds a 25.1% stake in the enlarged carrier, while Tata Sons owns 74.9%.
Current Challenges
Heavy Losses: Air India has faced severe financial losses, prompting discussions and scrutiny over capital injections.
Long-Term View: Despite financial strain, SIA and backer Temasek remain committed to the turnaround, viewing it as a long-term strategic game.
