SINGAPORE, May 24 -- Singapore minister Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim has condemned recent anti-Gaza remarks made by social media commentator Critical Spectator, warning that such rhetoric risks undermining social cohesion in Singapore.

The minister in charge of Muslim affairs said while it is legitimate to highlight suffering in other parts of the world, it is unacceptable to make statements that diminish the pain endured by Palestinians in Gaza.

"I'm gravely concerned about the recent remarks made by Critical Spectator," Faishal said in a Facebook post yesterday.

"While it is valid to draw attention to suffering in other parts of the world, we should reject any statement that minimises the suffering of Palestinians".
