A netizen commented on the news article on Facebook, calling the minister a “k*leng kia” (which is a derogatory term to describe Indians) who likes to play the “racist xenophobic cards for gods knows what reasons”.
Shanmugam was speaking on the purported rising sentiment against foreign nationals as well as the recent attack on a woman who was brisk walking to work.
