Prima Deli outs itself as the “well known Halal bakery” that discriminated against cake decorator

Earlier Friday, we wrote about a baker who was humiliated at what she would only name as a “well known Halal bakery”, when she interviewed there on Monday to be a cake decorator.

This bakery has now outed itself — it’s none other than Prima Deli.

Here is its statement:

And here’s what we’ve learned from it:

– They made contact with Sarah to say sorry.

– They “take a very serious view and have zero tolerance for such behaviour”, would impose “serious disciplinary action” on the person who spoke with Sarah and discriminated her.

Here’s what the person allegedly said to Sarah that earned him “serious disciplinary action”:

“From what I see, and the way you look, and not trying to be racist ah, but you Malay, I think you cannot la”

and

“You know ah, Malays ah they over promise, promise I can do this I can do that, in the end, cannot make it, after 2 days disappear.”

Here’s how the Internet responded to Prima Deli’s statement:

In case you don’t know what this is about:

Dear “well-known Halal bakery”, you’ve just lost a talented cake decorator due to your discrimination
