内政部指普丽蒂兄妹道歉虚伪

对于美丽求求你”普丽蒂(Preetipls)兄妹今日(2日)发表的致歉声明,内政部也作出反驳,指其道歉没诚意和虚伪。 内政部声明指出,普丽蒂兄妹是在恶搞此前创意公司Havas和新传媒的联合道歉声明,兄妹俩是假装道歉,实则在藐视国人对于他们引发争议视频的关注。 内政部也指,这不是普丽蒂兄妹首次表达这种种族情绪。在一年前,普丽蒂在一短视频扮成一位中国人,模仿中国传统习俗,但把华人描述成好利的赌徒。 而近期普丽蒂苏巴什则为为新传媒国庆庆祝活动写了首歌,指新加坡容许体制化的歧视,歌词写道:“我们活在一个让我们习以为常的系统… …棕色皮肤的男人就会被截停要求检查身份”,对此内政部驳斥这种描述不实。 内政部强调,只要任何人作出攻击性言论,不论族群肤色当局都会采取行动。 文告补充,过去一名36岁的华族女性曾发表带种族暗示的评论,被警方调查。女子后来真诚道歉,警方和总检察署商讨后,向她发出严厉警告。 今年1月,警方也以刑事法典提控一名蓄意伤害马来族群情感的华裔男子,后者在组屋区楼下涂鸦含有种族歧视内容的文字。 内政部声称,警方对普丽蒂的调查在继续进行中,当局也会征询总检察署的建议。
