Singapore bloggers charged for racist remarks

Two Singapore bloggers have been arrested for violating Singapore’s sedition laws by posting “anti-Muslim comments” on their blogs.

Reuters reports that the men, aged 25 and 27, face charges for promoting ill-will and hostility between ethnic communities on their blogs in June by posting “racist remarks” aimed at Singapore’s Muslim ethnic Malay community.

If found guilty, they can be jailed for up to three years or fined up to S$5,000, or both.
