SINGAPORE: In a Facebook post on Friday (June 20), Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin lauded the move by Google to take down a blog site hosting hate-filled content, and said such "vile and vicious blogs do not reflect who we are as a people".
"Let us be clear. This is not about freedom of speech or a debate about immigration or foreign workforce policy. This is about racism and xenophobia and there is no place for racists and xenophobes in our society," he wrote.
"I am glad that the blog has been taken down," said Mr Tan, who added the police is investigating the case.
