Singapore:
Rapper Subhas Nair of Indian-Origin started his six-week prison sentence for trying to promote bad will under racial and religious groups through online posts in multi-ethnic singapore.
The 32-year-old Singaporean, whose full name Subhas Govin Pabhakar Nair is, appealed to his conviction and punishment for Justice Hoo Sheau Peng for two days starting last year.
The Supreme Court had rejected its appeal, reported the Channel News Asia.
For an attempt to promote feelings of bad will between racial or religious groups, Nair had imprisoned for three years, a fine or both.
In a short oral decision, Justice Hoo said she agreed with the decision of the lower court on conviction and punishment, adding that the six -week prison sentence “was not disproportionate or crushed”.
Nair was found guilty of four charges by a court in 2023 after a trial. The charges were about racially charged statements he made between July 2019 and March 2021.
They relate to a YouTube video in which he and his sister, Preeti Nair, have performed a song with racist texts.
While Nair received a two -year conditional warning from the police for the video, he again brought in by placing racial comments on social media.
Nair wrote that “racism and Chinese privilege” was equal to a two -year conditional warning and “smear campaign in the media”, while “actually conspiring to kill an Indian man” half of the punishment and a matter of “you have one Baby soon?
Nair later performed a play in which he showed a hand -drawn replica of the comments regarding Chan Jia Xing.
A district judge eventually sentenced Nair to the proposed prison sentence of the prosecution of six weeks in September 2023, which resulted in the present profession.
