SINGAPORE: Police on Sunday announced that it had arrested two 17-year-olds for posting racist remarks online.

 

In a statement, police said the remarks could lead to ill-will and hostility between the different races in Singapore.

 

The arrests came after authorities received reports on Wednesday that racist remarks were being posted on Facebook and Twitter.

 

The suspects, both boys, were nabbed over the next two days.

 

A person convicted under the Sedition Act could be fined up to S$5,000 and jailed up to 3 years.

 

Police said the right to free speech does not extend to making remarks that incite racial and religious conflict.

 

The public should also refrain from re-posting and adding on to comments that may inflame the situation.

 

The commander of Bedok Police Division, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Police How Kwang Hwee, said: "The Internet may be a convenient medium to express one's views but members of the public should bear in mind that they are no less accountable for their actions online."

 

"Police take a very stern view of acts that could threaten the social harmony in Singapore."
