‘Nothing is certain about Trump but uncertainty’: Malaysia welcomes US tariff pause but remains wary ahead of key Asean meetingSingapore’s Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli says nobody should be considered a 'pendatang' in the republic.
“The way those comments were framed crossed a line. It’s not just about disagreement, it’s about the message it sends, that some Singaporeans somehow do not belong if they speak up.Cheng had previously suggested on Facebook that activists from the group Monday of Palestine Solidarity should be sent to Gaza, offering to sponsor their relocation and implying they should not return.
He urged Singaporeans, especially those in positions of influence, to be mindful of the negative impact their words may have on social cohesion., reiterating that all Singaporeans, regardless of background, have a stake in the country and that no one is a “pendatang” or immigrant. In response, Cheng clarified that his remarks were directed at a specific group and not at any racial or religious community.
