Former Ngee Ann Poly lecturer charged with making racist remarks, insensitive comments about religion

Mr Parkash could be heard in the video saying he is"half Indian, half Filipino", while his girlfriend is"half Singaporean Chinese, half Thai".Tan has also been charged over insensitive comments about religion allegedly made during a lecture at Ngee Ann Polytechnic on Jul 28, 2017.

In response to a question about"people being overcome by the Holy Spirit", Tan allegedly said that"people under the influence of drugs or epilepsy have the exact same experience".
