PETALING JAYA: Former Singapore prime minister Goh Chok Tong tonight defended the use of a picture featuring a scarecrow in a “baju Melayu” in a Hari Raya greeting after critics accused him of being insensitive.
He said he was dismayed that some had misinterpreted his social media post as portraying Malay-Muslims as scarecrows.
“This is far from my mind,” he said in a Facebook post tonight.
Goh went on to say that he spent his political life working for a harmonious multiracial society.
“This episode reminds us that strengthening multiracialism is always a work in progress. All of us have to do our part. Scary, isn’t it?”
Goh, who served as prime minister between 1990 and 2004, said he was struck by the change in attire when he passed by the HortPark scarecrow yesterday and decided to take a picture to be used as a greeting for his Muslim friends.
His initial post, however, drew flak with some labelling him “tone-deaf” and being condescending, while one called for the republic’s minister in charge of Muslim affairs to take appropriate action.
Some accused Goh of being racist as well as insensitive and said he owed the Malay community in Singapore an apology.

八打靈再也：在批評人士指責他麻木不仁之後，新加坡前總理吳作棟今晚為在開齋節問候中使用稻草人在“馬來語”中的照片進行了辯護。
他說，有些人將他的社交媒體帖子誤解為將馬來穆斯林描繪成稻草人，他對此感到沮喪。
“這與我的想法相去甚遠，”他今晚在 Facebook 帖子中說。
Goh 繼續說，他的政治生涯是為一個和諧的多種族社會而工作。
“這一事件提醒我們，加強多種族主義始終是一項正在進行的工作。我們所有人都必須儘自己的一份力量。可怕，不是嗎？”
在 1990 年至 2004 年期間擔任總理的吳說，他昨天路過 HortPark 稻草人時對服裝的變化感到震驚，並決定拍一張照片作為對穆斯林朋友的問候。
然而，他最初的帖子遭到抨擊，有人稱他為“音盲”並居高臨下，而有人則呼籲共和國負責穆斯林事務的部長採取適當行動。
一些人指責吳是種族主義者和麻木不仁，並說他欠新加坡馬來社區一個道歉。 |
