SINGAPORE – Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam has made clear that when it comes to the issue of Israel and Palestine, his views are very different from that of Mr Calvin Cheng.
Speaking to the media at Masjid Maarof on April 2, he said, when asked to comment on a post by the former Nominated MP: “I have a very sharply different view on Israel and Palestine compared to Mr Calvin Cheng.”
He added: “I previously said in November 2023 that Israel’s actions are illegal and oppressive to Palestinians, and that remains my view.”
His remarks come after a Facebook post by Mr Cheng on March 13 in which he offered to pay to relocate a group of activists to Gaza, as long as they do not return to Singapore.
