SINGAPORE, March 25 Singapore authorities told the Israeli embassy to remove a post made on its Facebook page yesterday that Minister for Law and Home Affairs K Shanmugam.
Israeli embassy in Singapore forced to take down 'insensitive' Facebook post theprint.in - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from theprint.in Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Singapore s government intervened in a controversial post by the Israeli Embassy, which cited the holy Quran for political reasons. The post, deemed "insensitive" and "completely unacceptable," was deemed an "astonishing attempt to rewrite history" and posed a risk to safety, security, and harmony in Singapore. The post, which claimed Israel is mentioned 43 times in the Quran, was later removed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
