Mr Lee said he is confident that the police will establish the facts and bring the perpetrator to justice. "It goes against everything that our multiracial society stands for, and the mutual respect and racial harmony that we hold so dear. It harms our international reputation more than we realise," he said.

Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said in a Facebook post referencing the alleged attack that while COVID-19 has brought out the best in people in difficult situations, discriminatory behaviour and"even violent xenophobic attacks" stemming from fear and intolerance has also been witnessed around the world."As we battle this unprecedented pandemic, it is more important than ever for our communities to band together and foster stronger cohesion.

Why our dear ministers never come out and speak out against racism when the Hwa Chong lady went out on a racism rampage? Selective?

Despicable act that mustn't go unbothered.

Attacking a middle aged woman is an act of cowardice. Try that on me and I would break your legs and send it to your parents.

Funny because we all know there’s discrimination against certain races in government and political settings. It starts from the core.

'It goes against everything that our multiracial society stands for, and the mutual respect and racial harmony that we hold so dear.' Yeahhhhh..........but also: 'Older generation of S'poreans not ready for non-Chinese PM' 🤡

No place for racism in Singapore. This incident must be dealt with severely with no compromise.

Bad apples exist everywhere. Despite this case the country is manyfold tolerant and welcoming than rest of the world right now.
