A halal bakery chain in Singapore has fired an employee for making discriminatory remarks against a Malay job seeker.
PrimaDeli, which has 40 outlets across the island nation, apologised yesterday and said it had dismissed the employee.
Authorities in Singapore have routinely clamped down on those who stir anti-foreign and racial hatred in the predominantly ethnic Chinese city-state.
Singapore's population is 74.3 per cent Chinese, 13.3 per cent Malay and 9.1 per cent Indian, according to official statistics.
Reaction to a Facebook posting by the job seeker detailing the incident sparked an uproar, with reaction continuing to stream in on Saturday.
