A Sikh man who had a brush with discriminatory remarks in the process of applying for a job in Singapore has received an official apology from the company yesterday (July 21), which coincided with Racial Harmony day.
In a series of viral Facebook posts on July 20, Parvitar Singh recounted how a staff member of an agency told him that the prospective employer might not be “comfortable” with his turban — which she called “a cloth thingy on [his] head” — despite him being suitable for the job.
She had also expressed surprise when he mentioned that he served in the Republic of Singapore Air Force without any issue about his turban.
After ending the call, Singh decided to escalate the matter by reaching out to the agency to have its directors clarify themselves and issue an apology.
According to an update, the agency’s manager called him to apologise and acknowledged that her colleague’s actions were uncalled for.
