Commercial Concerns Over Air India Investment Spark Debate
Workers’ Party MP Kenneth Tiong has defended his questions over Singapore Airlines’ exposure to Air India, stating they are purely commercial and not racially motivated. Tiong’s comments came after Senior Minister K Shanmugam declined to say whether the MP’s earlier post had crossed racial lines. The debate surrounds SIA’s 25.1% stake in Air India, which has recorded significant losses. Tiong has cited SIA’s financial statements and the potential impact on Temasek Holdings, which owns half of SIA. The issue was first reported by Unknown Source.
