On: Your wife is Indian, landlord won’t rent to you

I believe the author's experience was in Singapore. My understanding is its constitution prohibits racial discrimination against citizens [1] but is silent on racial discrimination against non-citizens.

Of course, the citizenship of the author or his spouse are not stated in the article.

It has to be silent on discrimination against non-citizens as so many of the city's menial workforce travel daily across the causeway from Malaysia.

If it gave them all equal rights, the cost of menial labour would likely be unaffordable.

Add to the fact that Asians are often far more... 'proud' of their own race, compared to others and the predominent ethnicity of Singapore is Chinese.
