Devina DeDiva, who was synonymous to a racist, is a student of SIM University (UniSIM) in Singapore who posted racist comments about Filipinos after Miss Philippines Megan Young won the Miss World 2013 crown. While UniSIM is currently investigating the allegations, a spokesman of the University confirmed with Yahoo Singapore Monday that it has a student named Devina Sharma, who is reportedly using the name "Devina DeDiva" posting rude and racist comments on Facebook.

"We are doing our due diligence to establish the facts of the case. If ascertained that our code of conduct for students has been violated, we will take appropriate disciplinary actions," UniSIM spokesman said.

After the announcement of the Miss World 2013 results on Sep. 28, "Devina DeDiva" in a series of Facebook posts said, "Miss Philippines is Miss World? What a joke! I did not know those maids have anything else in them."

Devina called Filipinas as "poor," "smelly from cleaning toilets" and "underprivileged."

"They r less privileged everywhere! M surprised one can win. What a joke these people cleaning our toilets won miss world (sic)." Devina posted on Facebook.

DeDiva's account was subsequently deleted, but continued her anti-Filipino tirade when she resurfaced later on bearing the name "Devina Dediva (II)".

Police Investigation

On Oct.3, Philippine media reported that a man named Anthony Benedicto filed a police report against "Devina DeDiva."

Benedicto wrote in a Facebook post, "Racism is not tolerated in Singapore."

Soon after he deactivated his Facebook account, but a redacted copy of the police report that went viral on social media proved that it was filed against a Devina Sharma.
The police spokesman confirmed that a report was lodged and that they are investigating the matter, according to Yahoo Singapore.

The incident has caused pandemonium in the Philippines. Prominent stage actress Monique Wilson slammed Devina, "That slur was certainly a form of discrimination against Filipinos. Why do we see maids as being lowly? Why? They do an honorable job. They contribute to society and are well-respected and well-appreciated in many countries. We have to be proud of that and not allow people to demean us in that way."
