Sim Ann : Online Abuse of PAP's Beloved FT Pets is Not Acceptable!!!
Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Law Sim Ann lashed out at online comments that “spew hate and prejudice against individuals or groups,” describing them as ‘hate speech’
“All of us, politicians and netizens, must take a clear stand against hate speech. Abuse of foreigners, or any human being, is not acceptable, whether it is verbal or physical, online or offline,” she wrote.
She added that Singaporeans should choose to do right or refrain from doing wrong even when confronted by seductive voices suggesting wrong is right:
“I choose to say no to that. I say no because I believe we all have a choice in deciding how we behave. Hate speech online or in person is wrong, no matter who the target and whatever the alleged provocation. As moral beings, we can and should choose not to indulge in hate speech.”
