MORE COMMUNITY, RELIGIOUS GROUPS SPEAK OUT
More community and religious groups have spoken out in response to the incidents.
Bishop Philip Lim from the Methodist Church in Singapore said that such incidents “threaten the fabric of our society” and “undermine the values of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence” in Singapore.
“Singapore stands as a global example of religious harmony, built through many years of continuous and deliberate effort. We should not take this harmony for granted,” he said in a statement.
The Sikh Advisory Board said that it “strongly condemns” the recent incidents, adding that places of worship are sacred spaces and that any acts that threaten their sanctity or the peace and harmony in Singapore cannot be tolerated.
