A Channel News Asia (CNA) producer has accused a colleague of directing sexist remarks at her.

Juwon Park, a producer for the finance show Money Mind, published a Facebook post of screen shots of a conversation alleging that it was with a colleague who had said she could not be a presenter “because I have no boobs” and “girls shouldn’t be too smart for their own good” and that she “should act dumb”.

One of the screenshots reproduced from the alleged WhatsApp conversation with the colleague showed that he claimed “it’s how the industry works”.

The colleague then supposedly apologised and claimed, “I’m just being Australian”.

However, her post has since been made unavailable to the public, but has been republished on local online forums.

Worse, she alleged that her concerns were dismissed by her colleagues, both male and female, as a matter of not being able to assimilate into the Singapore culture.

In response to the allegations, the Singapore broadcaster said on Thursday, Oct. 5: "Mediacorp does not condone sexism in the workplace. We take a serious view to this matter and are investigating."
