SINGAPORE: Singapore\u2019s social cohesion has taken a long time to build; hence, people should not allow anyone to cast doubt about its multicultural identity, said Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo on Saturday (Jun 6).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must always remember that the cohesion we have in our society is very precious. It has taken a very long time to build up, it can be broken if we are not careful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStay alert and make sure that we don’t allow anyone to cast doubt on our national unity,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Mrs Teo was speaking to reporters after the authorities ordered three social media sites to block access to 14 posts on their platforms.<\/p>\n
The posts contained problematic narratives seeking to target the Indian community and undermine Singapore\u2019s model of multiculturalism, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said.<\/p>\n
The content likely originated from a China-based platform, and was subsequently carried on other platforms and websites, according to Investigations by the police and MHA.<\/p>\n
Mrs Teo, who was attending the Jalan Besar Family Sports Carnival in Zhongshan Park, said she had seen the videos.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese videos did not originate from Singapore; they do not reflect the views of Singaporeans,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
