Online spat between Singaporeans and Filipinos turns ugly with racist remark made against the Malay community



The Temasek Times, 7 Jun 2012

In a sign that anti-foreigner sentiments are on a rise in Singapore, a fierce exchange erupted in social media between a group of native Singaporeans and Pinoy ‘FTs’ on a Facebook page set up to ask pinoy PMETs to ‘f**k off’ from Singapore.
One pinoy Marie Hilario asked Singaporeans to ‘f**k off’ as they cannot do without them:
“Without Filipinos in Singapore, you are NOTHING!”
Another pinoy Mickey Bebe boasted that Filipinos made up about 25 percent of almost all the companies in Singapore:
“if you hate us…then ask your government not to hired filipinos here… and im sure u can’t do without us… coz almost of the company half or 1/4 of their employee was PINOY’s…”
Another pinoy Marcelo Franciso jeered at unemployed Singaporeans:
“Even we are a cheap type of labourer at least we got a job!!!hahahaha.”
One Margauz Janz Castro Gutierez even hurled vulgarities at a Malay Singaporean:
“watch out isz julz..almost malay like u is a fucking bastard..”

In other countries, foreigners are expected to integrate into local society, but it seems to be the other way round in Singapore with PAP leaders exhorting Singaporeans constantly to make the newcomers feel accepted, welcomed and happy in Singapore.
Judging from the responses of our precious pinoy ‘FTs’ above, Singaporeans must seriously reflect on their own behavior and heed Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s call to ‘embrace’ them with an open heart.
