2024年5月8日，新加坡內政部長尚穆根在國會上回復宏茂橋集選區議員娜蒂雅女士和非選區議員梁文輝先生關於以色列駐新加坡大使館社交貼文事件的補充問題。

以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：

議長先生：有請娜蒂雅女士。

娜蒂雅女士（宏茂橋集選區議員）：謝謝議長。 我只有一個簡短的補充問題。尊敬的部長，我知道在提供方向方面存在限制。然而，鑒於大使館的帖子斷章取義地引用了原始視頻，考慮到帖子的敏感性，是否考慮過要求大使館做出澄清，或者要求道歉，因為來自不同社區的許多人對帖子相當不滿？

尚穆根先生：議長先生，大家都知道，我們非常清楚地表達了我們的觀點，大使館立即刪除了該帖子，正如我剛才向各位議員明確表示的那樣，大使會見了我，他就該帖子事件道歉並說該貼文根本不應該發布，以後也不會再發生此類事件，涉案官員將被遣送回國。我認為這些都是非常嚴肅的步驟。

議長先生：有請梁文輝先生。

梁文輝先生（非選區議員）：議長先生，我從部長的答覆中注意到，涉及此案的使館工作人員已離開新加坡。我還有一個補充問題要問部長。自 2023 年 10 月 7 日以來，以色列大使館或任何其他大使館是否採取了任何其他行動來陳述他們在以色列與哈馬斯衝突中的立場？政府採取了哪些回應行動？

尚穆根先生：議長先生。首先，如果議員留意的話，他會意識到我並沒有說工作人員已被遣返。關於第二個問題，據我所知，除了我對各位議員說的以外，使館沒有對我說任何話，大使也沒有對我說任何話。該議員不妨要求外交部（MFA）作出任何其他澄清。

以下是英文質詢內容：

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?

Mr K Shanmugam: Sir, on the first part, if the Member was paying attention, he would have realised I did not say the staff has been sent back. On the second question, as far as I know, the embassy has not said anything to me, neither has the ambassador said anything to me, beyond what I have said to Members. The Member may wish to ask the MFA for any other clarifications.
