So the question was posed by a non-Muslim presumably because she was going to ask her Muslim friends along - as she is obviously ignorant of the norms around what is halal food she gets rebuked for asking and then points out that the answer was not appropriate (let's just assume she is naive).
So why the condemnation of Malays/Muslims then?
Trust me, the Chinese broad was naïve — and dumb. I know many local Chinese youth who know very little of the cultural practices of the other ethnic groups – thanks to the segregationist policies of the PAP govt. Many think that if the food doesn't contain pork, it's halal. Most of the SAP school alumni I know did not have a single minority friend throughout their school years.
And yes, the vitriol hurled at the Malays/Muslims in this thread is unwarranted.
That said, I didn't find the restaurant's reply particularly offensive: "This is Singapore, not Saudi Arabia." Not a rude reply by any stretch, nor an attack on Muslims, but a sarcastic reminder to what they felt was a stupid question posed by a Chinese that this being Singapore, you wouldn't imagine a pub to be certified halal in the first place.
I'm very sure had the questioner been a Malay, the restaurant would have replied in a more neutral manner.
Many stupid broads in Singapore for sure.
Can't cook. Can't do housework. Says those should be done by a maid. Totally useless. Excellent in spending money on useless shit like Prada, Celine and Chanel though.
One of my American friends — an expat — made this observation after a month here: S'porean girls are good at only 3 things — eating, shopping & fucking.
An exaggeration, but not far from the truth.
in-between the earsI made one slight correction....

You still don't get it. Why the double standards???? If they find pigs and pork dirty, by the same logic all their parts should be dirty. It's like saying you find you can give birth and still be a virgin or kill someone and still go to heaven and be given 72 virgins. that's why almost all religions are nonsense. atheism and scientific wisdom is the best.
