SINGAPORE — Subhas Nair, the brother of social media personality Preetipls, was charged in the State Courts on Monday (1 November) with four counts of attempting to promote feelings of ill-will between different groups on grounds of religion and race.

The charges relate to incidents that took place between 2019 and 2020. Subhas, 28, appeared in court with sister Preeti Nair. He donned a shirt with the face of Nagaenthran a/l K Dharmalingam, a convicted drug mule on death row for 10 November.

Subhas, whose full name is Subhas Govin Prabhakar Nair, was originally given a two-year conditional warning for a "racially-charged rap video" on 29 July 2019 which was said to have attempted to promote ill-will between the Chinese and other races.
