Chinese national Sun Sicong, now 21, pleaded guilty on Friday to uploading online remarks with the intention of wounding the religious feelings of others.

In an earlier statement, the police said, in June 2020, they received"many reports regarding an Instagram user who had posted insensitive comments and threats that could incite violence against the Muslim community".In their statement, the police also said that they take a serious view of acts that have the potential to damage racial and religious harmony in Singapore.

On Friday, defence lawyer Justin Ng told District Judge Kessler Soh that his client was around 18 when he made the posts and committed the offence due to"youthful immaturity". Mr Ng also said that due to his nationality, Sun had been bullied by his schoolmates before he became a polytechnic student.
