SINGAPORE — The Embassy of Israel in Singapore has apologised for the behaviour of a junior Israeli diplomat who misused a Singapore flag as a table cloth during an outdoor party.

In a press statement, the Embassy said it “was appalled to learn of deplorable behaviour displayed by one of its junior staff members and expresses its sincere apologies”.

“The Director General of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instructed that requisite strong disciplinary procedure will be adopted against the individual after his meeting with the Singapore authorities, reflecting the severity with which Israel views this incident, especially in light of the close and friendly relationship between Singapore and Israel,” added the statement issued tonight (Dec 30).

Photos apparently showing the incident were posted online earlier this week.

TODAY understands that the Israeli Ambassador was summoned in by Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) after a police report on the incident was made and investigations revealed the identity of the diplomat.

Disrespectful or just plain dumb? Goondus use S’pore flag as tablecloth for party at Farrer Rd condo

A group of people having a party were sighted using a Singapore flag as a tablecloth at a Farrer Road condominium on Sunday (Dec 27).

In an article on All Singapore Stuff, the contributor was appalled at how disrespectful these people were and how they were “insulting and disrespecting our sovereignty”.

The contributor has reported the matter to the police.

According to the post, the people were foreigners.

What Stomper Zafir saw at this block of flats in Sengkang earlier today (July 16) at around 10.30am didn’t make him feel that way though.

The flags are hung facing the wrong direction.
