In a media release by Temasek, it stated that some of their staff from India have been targeted recently on social media by a divisive, racist campaign.
They have also stated that the company is “very angry at the false claims perpetuated”. The company said that they will continue to stand by their staff who have been dragged into this through no fault of their own.
All the racist and xenophobic postings have been referred to Facebook as it is a clear breach of the community guidelines on hate speech, and will continue to press them to be more active in stamping out such hate speech, wherever it occurs on their platforms.
Temasek has maintained that out of the 600 staff at their headquarters in Singapore, 90% are Singapore Citizens or Singapore PRs.
