SINGAPORE: The Philippine embassy in Singapore has asked the Singapore Government to hold a blogger accountable for a blog post that encourages Singaporeans to show intolerance for Filipinos. The post on the blog "Blood Stained Singapore" offered pointers on how Singaporeans can show displeasure with Filipinos without breaking the law. It has been widely circulated on social media, with many people flagging it as racist and offensive.


A statement on the website of the Philippine embassy in Singapore on Tuesday (June 17) says it immediately communicated to the Singapore Government that appropriate action should be taken against the blogger in accordance with the law.


Police confirmed that reports have been lodged in connection with the blog. A spokesperson said that investigations are ongoing, but offered no further details.


The statement from the Philippine embassy in Singapore said it believes the views of the blogger do not reflect the general beliefs of people in Singapore. The embassy also advised Filipinos not to stoop to the level of the blogger by responding in kind, as the blogger "clearly intends to create friction". And it encouraged Filipinos here to continue their good work to enhance Philippine-Singapore relations.


The original blog post in question, dated May 24, appeared to be taken down, but was republished on Monday (June 16).


The posts appear to violate the terms of blog-publishing service Blogger. A statement on the Google-owned platform says "material that promotes hatred toward groups based on race or ethnic origin" is not allowed on Blogger.

I don't recall the Pinoy Embassy taking action or complain when Pinoys were hurling insults on sinkapore and sinkees on Facebook and boast on how they discriminate against sinkees.

If the PAP government works for sinkees, it should ask the Pinoy ambassador to leave for interfering in our affairs as well as deport all Pinoys immediately.

mr selfie aka $2.50-nasi-padang or $0.50 bandung should tell the pinoy to bugger off and reflect on himself.

It is okay for Pinoys to insult sinkees, to ask fellow Pinoys here to discriminate against Sinkees but it is not alright for sinkees to make life unpleasant for Pinoys here?

A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye ...surely, the Christian Pinoys can understand that sinkees are just following the bible.

If sinkees were following the Quran, the retaliation would be gruesome.

[tonychat]

[winnipegjets]

It is time to tell the Pinoys that sinkapore is for sinkees, not for Pinoys!

So far it seems no action taken by Pinoy Embassy or Singapore govt against Carlos R Pestano III who has labelled Singaporeans as 'rotten locals' ,or against the 2 pinoy nurses who slapped the old lady at the nursing home.

Actually this is not constructive politics when you just adopt an aggressive stance in a foreign country without trying to find out why your people are being disliked.

Pinoy maids have been here for decades without incurring such sentiments and so do singers, bands, entertainers, nurses ect2.
Have the recent wave of Pinoys been behaving like polite guest or have they been stepping on the toes of the host?

Only possible if PAP is kicked out.

Sometimes I wonder: has it ever crossed the Pinoys' brains that this request to take action will only increase Sinkies' increasing annoyance towards them? Oooh, we're Pinoys, we're loud and proud, now we make demands to your Prime Minister to take action on a blog post we do not like.

The erudite Ang Mohs at this blog are making more sense about the Flips with every passing day.

 

[chootchiew]

take action means what ? what are the possible actions ?

 

[borom]

Wonder who will speak up for the pappy-Hri Kumar, Indranee Rajah or Vivian B?

Maybe Tan Chuan-Jin who supported the Pinoy Day Celebration.

Another lawsuit and trial to remind locals about the immigration/foreigners issue?-just after Roy and the Toa Payoh 5 and Hri Kumar retired teacher CPF's anguish-looks like the next election shaping up to be an "eventful" one.
