While she apologised, Xiaxue also condemned the behavior of some foreign sex workers in Singapore, calling them 'trashy and disgusting.'

SINGAPORE: Singaporean influencer Xiaxue has apologised and issued a clarification video following a backlash over comments she made about Thai and Vietnamese women.

Xiaxue’s response sparked outrage for its perceived disparagement of Thai and Vietnamese women. She had said: She apologised but said her comments were taken out of context. Xiaxue said: “Let me just say that if you are Thai and you felt hurt or attacked, I’m sorry and that’s not my intention. You guys know me. If I have an opinion, I say and I do not apologise. This time round, I’m apologising because I realise that what was posted indeed sounds horrible, but that is because it was taken completely out of context.

Addressing why she made such statements, Xiaxue said, “Because I’m answering the audience’s question of why so many Singaporean men end up dating women from Thailand or Vietnam. And my answer, in short, is that many of these girls come to Singapore and work in the sex trade.
