SINGAPORE — Singaporean rapper Subhas Nair, 31, was on Tuesday (July 18) found guilty of attempting to promote ill will among racial and religious groups.

attempting to promote ill will among racial and religious groupsNair, whose full name is Subhas Govin Prabhakar Nair, was convicted of four such charges over incidents that occurred between July 2019 and March 2021.

Commenting on a viral video by two Christians who linked the gay pride movement to Satan, Nair wrote:"If two Malay Muslims made a video promoting Islam and saying the kinds of hateful things these Chinese Christians said, ISD would have been at the door before they even hit 'upload'." "Do you actually think a brown person would get asked these type of questions? This place is just not for us," he wrote.

He added that art may offend some people — especially when it is trying to improve society — and may also make some people feel"uncomfortable". The judge said it was clear that Nair's words suggested that some communities are targeted unfairly while others get preferential treatment.
