2024年5月8日,新加坡内政部长尚穆根在国会上回复宏茂桥集选区议员娜蒂雅女士和非选区议员梁文辉先生关于以色列驻新加坡大使馆社交贴文事件的补充问题。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理:
议长先生:有请娜蒂雅女士。
娜蒂雅女士(宏茂桥集选区议员):谢谢议长。 我只有一个简短的补充问题。尊敬的部长,我知道在提供方向方面存在限制。然而,鉴于大使馆的帖子断章取义地引用了原始视频,考虑到帖子的敏感性,是否考虑过要求大使馆做出澄清,或者要求道歉,因为来自不同社区的许多人对帖子相当不满?
尚穆根先生:议长先生,大家都知道,我们非常清楚地表达了我们的观点,大使馆立即删除了该帖子,正如我刚才向各位议员明确表示的那样,大使会见了我,他就该帖子事件道歉并说该贴文根本不应该发布,以后也不会再发生此类事件,涉案官员将被遣送回国。我认为这些都是非常严肃的步骤。
议长先生:有请梁文辉先生。
梁文辉先生(非选区议员):议长先生,我从部长的答复中注意到,涉及此案的使馆工作人员已离开新加坡。我还有一个补充问题要问部长。自 2023 年 10 月 7 日以来,以色列大使馆或任何其他大使馆是否采取了任何其他行动来陈述他们在以色列与哈马斯冲突中的立场?政府采取了哪些回应行动?
尚穆根先生:议长先生。首先,如果议员留意的话,他会意识到我并没有说工作人员已被遣返。关于第二个问题,据我所知,除了我对各位议员说的以外,使馆没有对我说任何话,大使也没有对我说任何话。该议员不妨要求外交部(MFA)作出任何其他澄清。
以下是英文质询内容:
UPDATE ON INCIDENT WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA POST WAS TAKEN DOWN BY ISRAELI EMBASSY IN SINGAPORE(3)
Mr Speaker: Ms Nadia Samdin.
Ms Nadia Ahmad Samdin (Ang Mo Kio): Thank you, Speaker. Just one short follow-up supplementary question. I understand, hon Minister, that there are limitations in the directions that could be provided. However, was there any consideration, given the sensitive nature of the post, to request for a clarification, given that the embassy's post took the original video out of context, as well as perhaps an apology as many in the community, from various communities, were quite upset about the post?
Mr K Shanmugam: Sir, as Members will know, we made very clear what our views were and the embassy immediately took down the post and, as I made clear to Members just now, the Ambassador met me and he apologised for the post and said that it should never have been put up and that it will not be repeated and the officer involved would be dealt with by being sent home. I think those are pretty serious steps.
Mr Speaker: Mr Leong Mun Wai.
Mr Leong Mun Wai (Non-Constituency Member): Mr Speaker, I noted from the Minister's reply that the embassy staff in question for this case has left Singapore. I have one additional supplementary question for the Minister. Did the Israeli Embassy or any other embassies take any other actions to state their case in the Israel-Hamas conflict since 7 October 2023 and what actions has the Government taken in response?
