Filipino nurse charged with sedition for anti-Singapore online rant


Ello Ed Mundsel Bello, 28, had already been fired from his job at the government-run Tan Tock Seng Hospital in January following internal investigations into a series of social media posts which were deemed offensive.

On Tuesday he was slapped with two charges of publishing seditious statements on January 2 as well as three charges of subsequently lying to the police, a spokeswoman for the Attorney-General’s Chambers told AFP.

In the first Facebook post on January 2, he wrote: “Singaporeans are loosers (sic) in their own country, we take their jobs, their future, their women and soon we will evict all SG loosers (sic)out of their own country hahaha”.

He ended the post by saying “Remember Pinoy (Filipinos) better and stronger than Stinkaporeans”.

In a subsequent comment on the same day, Ello said “we will kick out all the Singaporeans and SG will be the new filipino state”.
