A food-and-beverage (F&B) establishment, The Social Outcast, on Monday (Aug 8) took food company Oseas Pte Ltd to court for publishing what it described as “racist, derogatory and baseless” negative comments and reviews on various public platforms.
The Social Outcast, a Muslim-owned restaurant operating since 2019, is seeking S$150,000 in damages and another S$50,000 in aggravated damages from the defendant, which operates under the name Ishiro.
The defendant has countersued for S$63,000 in damages over defamation.
The Social Outcast serves smoked and charcoal grilled meat, while Ishiro serves Japanese fusion rice bowls. During the alleged incidents, both parties were operating at Bedok Marketplace, in close proximity with each other.
THE CASE
The Social Outcast claimed that Mr Chua Wen Bin, employed by Ishiro as a manager at the time, had “published and/or caused to be published racist, derogatory and baseless negative comments and reviews” against other F&B establishments, including The Social Outcast.
These comments were purportedly posted under a Facebook account that was renamed on several occasions.
