The Philippine Embassy in Singapore has asked the Singapore government to look into a blog post titled “Filipino infestation in Singapore – 5 point guide to showing displeasure without breaking the law”, and for local authorities to take appropriate actions against the blogger.
The post on the blog “Blood Stained Singapore” offered “tips” to its viewers on how to show displeasure towards Filipinos ‘through largely “peaceful”, non criminal means’. One of the tips involves asking for a change of service staff if the staff member happens to be a Filipino.
The Embassy published a statement on its website stating that it has communicated to the authorities about the blog post. It highlighted concerns that the content in the blog post could have devastating consequences to relations between the two nationalities.
Police confirmed that reports have been lodged in connection with the blog. A spokesperson for the police said that investigations are ongoing, but offered no further details.
The Embassy expressed in its statement that it believes the views of the blogger is isolated and do not reflect the general sentiments of Singaporeans. It encouraged Filipinos not to stoop to the level of the blogger and avoid responding to such bloggers via online channels, email, text message or any means of communication. It also asked Filipinos not to pay any attention to the blog as the author “clearly intends to create friction” between Filipinos and Singaporeans.
The Embassy further advised Filipinos to continue building good relations with Singaporeans and observe local regulations as guest and friends of Singapore. Filipinos are advised to be careful with activities that can be used against them by malicious bloggers to further their agenda against foreigners, and for them to cooperate with the authorities of Singapore should there be any threats made to their personal safety and security.
The original blog post which was first published on May 24, was taken down for a short period before being republished on Monday (June 16). As of this morning, access the the blog has been disabled, with a sign that says “the blog has been removed”.

【选举】延续理性、负责任反对党 工人党毕丹星号召捐款备战选举

随着选举局在今日(18日)发布有关疫情下竞选活动准则。这也加深坊间认为选举已近的印象。 工人党秘书长毕丹星也在脸书发文,号召支持者和选民踊跃捐款支持备战选举,不论善款多少,协助延续理性和负责任的反对党,确保本地政治公正和平衡。 前党魁刘程强自2001年领军工人党以来,确保反对党得以求存发展,并在关乎国家利益的事务扮演制衡监督的角色。而该党也同意无论如何,需成为日理性和负责任的反对党政治。 他指出,国会议员在国会宣誓,就包括鞠躬尽瘁履行职责,对新加坡怀有真正的信念和忠诚,并维护和捍卫国家宪法。 毕丹星也指出,政治无处不在,但即便是在新加坡也无阻普通百姓,踊跃以工人党旗帜参选,“这正是追求平等正义的人性使然,并延伸至政治。”他认为,这也或许解释为何他和工人党同仁,都毅然投身政治。 工人党捐款网页:https://www.wp.sg/donate/
