SINGAPORE: A man who made racially offensive tweets under a pseudonym"Sharon Liew" was jailed for three weeks on Tuesday .

"Further, when such remarks are published with the medium of the Internet, they have the ubiquitous reach and therefore amplify the potential and irreversible harm that could be caused to ... peace and racial harmony." It was meant to be a parody account and had more than 5,000 followers, but the posts by Zainal's two friends stopped from early 2019.

Lawyer Sunil Sudheesan asked instead for three weeks' jail, saying that every action by his client must be viewed"in the proper context".

Bro what country is this

man i think sharon liew is the least of our problems rn :/ we got actual racist aunties filming ppl and the chinese guy saying indians prey on chinese like sharon liew is literally a speck of dust with its satire comedy its the least of our problems

Interesting 🤔. Thus, this brings out a question... For a country that emphasizes on racial harmony, without a proper discussion of 'racism'... If such behavior exists, could there be 'unconsciously' racist Singaporeans as well? 🤔 Or are these people being silence?

A gutless snake who hides behind a Chinese female pseudonym being a racist on Twitter . Sweet.

StopAsianHate is a irony if we Asians are racist and colorism to each other

Good Good...bar been set for our Senior Lecturer! Jail.awaits for his offensive racist rant at public space.

Not everyone is alike n likeable....must look at every situations with a pinch of salt....maybe by doing that....the world/places can ben better n liveable. U think this is bad....wait till u experience hate crimes where gun violent r so common place.

Having lived almost 50 years in Singapore yet his man is not able to appreciate the multi-racial beauty of living with different races. Making such anti race comment makes every Singaporean feel ashamed.

Bewildering ignorance, but built on a system that has encouraged a class system where disposable cheap foreign labour supports privileged citizens who've been propagandised as being better for years. OwnGoal

Why is this guy does not look like someone named Sharon Liew at all

What about Xiaxue? She did something similar but went away scot free

So when's the Lecturer from NgeeAnnNP being jailed for his racially offensive real time tweets out of his mouth?

Beow Tan next.

CNA Lifestyle met up with three female collectors in Singapore who share how they got into their hobbies.
