Between 2016 and 2017, Singapore also experienced a coordinated hostile information campaign that tried to undermine the country’s foreign policy position, through many online commentaries and videos on previously dormant social media accounts.
Mr Shanmugam, who did not name the aggressor, said: “Many of these were in Mandarin and targeted our Chinese-speaking population, these contents also widely circulated via chat apps and aim to influence sentiments amongst Singaporeans.”

THIS IS RACISM what Chinese , how about India? Those foreigner Indians, remember that T Shirt display SG flag been torn apart show India Flag?
Threading on troubled waters , trying to cause a division in racial issues? Already a very sensitive subject.
I think all those arrested for links and sponsoring terrorism have nothing to do with Chinese.
Pls be transparent and specific with your justifications. Else, you will stoke speculations and fake news

That's is really dangerous statements targeting a specific group of people. Isn't this serious with such racism remarks? If such person attack certain groups of people, should this one be punished and be removed ? This statement is very important to be noted down on the year and date it was made known and kept in diary for future use.

Well as far as I know, he gets away with his unfair remarks because he is the law minister. And because of his profession, he knows how to play with words.
Couple with our unaccountable administration for not taking the responsibility in their foul up policy or executions in many things. What's the used of noting down what they say?
In the end it will just be washed away. Our administration are of double standards, so it's pointless to take note or try to bring them to task. In my opinion.

It is not about knowing how to play with words, but, it is like anyhow blurting out words just becos a person command a higher authority and therefore, can say anything he likes. This is not right type of behaviour a person shd be. For this, a person character and integrity are questionable.

Look, as much as you’re assuming that he has “anyhow” blurting out those words, I like to think that what he has said on the Chinese and chat apps may be something that he has some ground with.
But he is representing Singapore with the deliberate intend to say it in the public, says much about his representation of both his party as well as his superior. And of course not forgetting the country too.
Though I agree with you that this sort of behaviour is not right, but then again he hold the authority as you have said. Which allows him to simply making such a generic remarks into the media. This is not being diplomatic in his representation.
By calling out a certain race and the apps in itself shows that there is some biased in his remarks. Just my opinion.
