SINGAPORE: An 18-year-old Singaporean student who identified as an "East Asian supremacist" and was radicalised by violent far-right extremist ideologies has been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
Nick Lee Xing Qiu, who is of Chinese ethnicity, had aspired to conduct attacks against Malays and Muslims in Singapore. He believed that the Chinese, Korean and Japanese ethnicities were superior, the Internal Security Department (ISD) said on Monday (Feb 10).
Lee was issued with a detention order in December last year. He is the third Singaporean youth with far-right extremist ideologies to be dealt with under the ISA.
The first case involved a then 16-year-old detained in December 2020 for planning machete attacks on mosques. The second case also involved a 16-year-old who was issued with a restriction order in November 2023 after authorities found that he identified as a white supremacist and aspired to conduct attacks overseas.
ISD also announced on Monday that a Singaporean housewife who was radicalised after the Israel-Hamas conflict has been put under ISA restrictions. A Malaysian man, who worked as a cleaner in Singapore, was repatriated for supporting Islamic State.
SELF-RADICALISATION PROCESS
Lee first started developing hostility towards Muslims in early 2023 after encountering Islamophobic and far-right content on social media. He spent several hours a day searching for and consuming extremist online content, according to ISD.
In June 2023, Lee searched for the livestream video footage of far-right terrorist Brenton Tarrant's attacks against Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Mar 15, 2019.
He watched the footage repeatedly and came to idolise Tarrant. He then downloaded video game modifications and role-played as Tarrant killing Muslims at the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch.
By early 2024, Lee's radicalisation deepened and he had developed a strong enmity towards Malays and Muslims, as well as other ethnicities traditionally targeted by far-right extremists including Jews, Mexicans, African Americans and Indians.
"He was also supportive of white supremacy because he felt that Islam was a threat to white culture," ISD said.
He had come across ethno-supremacist ideas that made him believe that Chinese, Korean and Japanese were superior ethnicities, resonating with them given his Chinese ethnicity and antipathy towards Muslims.
In September 2024, Lee got a tattoo on his right elbow of a sonnenrad, a symbol that was seen in Tarrant's manifesto and on his rucksack during the Christchurch attack. He also purchased T-shirts with custom printings of symbols associated with neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other far-right groups.
ENVISIONED STARTING A "RACE WAR"
Lee aspired to carry out attacks against Muslims in Singapore with other far-right individuals that he spoke to online. Although he claimed that he was too afraid to conduct an attack alone, he admitted he would have participated in attacks together with those he met online.
"His attack aspirations included conducting a Tarrant-style attack on Muslims at a mosque in Singapore using homemade guns, knives and Molotov cocktails," ISD said.
Lee had hoped to livestream the attack online, dedicating it to Tarrant.
He also thought about throwing Molotov cocktails at his Malay-Muslim neighbours during a religious holiday to maximise casualties. But apart from enquiring online on how to make a Molotov cocktail, he took no further preparations towards this.
The ISD also said Lee was deeply convinced by the Great Replacement Theory, which claims that white populations in the West are in danger of being replaced by non-white immigrants.
He believed that violence was necessary to prevent the Chinese majority in Singapore from being displaced by what he perceived to be a rapidly growing Malay population.
Lee envisioned starting a "race war" between Chinese and Malays in Singapore, by creating anti-Malay and anti-Muslim propaganda to post online, hoping to create animosity between the two races.
He started a social media account in late 2024 to instigate others to conduct attacks against Malays and Muslims. This account was used to repost far-right extremist videos, and he uploaded about 20 self-made videos glorifying far-right terrorists and containing anti-Malay and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Lee's family, teachers and schoolmates were unaware of his radicalisation and there is no indication that he tried to influence them with his violent extremist views, ISD said. His attack plans were aspirational with no set timeline and investigations into his online contacts have found no imminent threat to Singapore.
"Far-right extremism is a growing security concern globally, and Singapore has not been immune to this threat," ISD said.
Although the movement is often associated with white supremacy, its broader messages of ethno-religious chauvinism, racism and xenophobia can appeal to non-whites.
"ISD will take firm action against any individual in Singapore who supports, promotes, undertakes or makes preparations to undertake armed violence, regardless of how they rationalise such violence ideologically or where the violence takes place," it said.

In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple computers, proving the potential of distributing quantum modules without compromising on their performance.
While the transfer only took place over a space of two meters (about six feet) in an Oxford University laboratory, the leap was more than enough to emphasize the feasibility of scaling quantum technology by teleporting quantum statesΒ across an 'internet' of connected systems.
Teleportation is a quirk of physicsΒ that only makes sense through a quantum lens, where objects exist in a blur of possible characteristics until processes of measurement force them to adopt each state.
By mingling the undecided states of different objects inΒ an act known as entanglement, and then carefully choosing the right kinds of measurements to make on one, it's possible to use the answers to force an entangled object some distance away to adopt (and destroy) the original object's quantum identity.
It might not be the kind of teleportation that would beam passengers through the vacuum of space in a blink, but it's perfect for sharing the blur of information necessary for logical operations in a quantum processor.
"Previous demonstrationsΒ of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems,"Β saysΒ lead author Dougal Main, a physicist at Oxford University.
"In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems."
Where classical computers use binary 'on or off' switches to perform strings of computations on bits of information,Β quantum computersΒ use mathematically complex distributions of possibilities known as qubits, typically represented in a simple feature of an uncharged particle such as a charged atom.
To make this process practical, hundreds or even thousands of such particles need to have their yet-to-be-decided states entangled with one another in a restricted fashion, without intrusive objects weaving their own possibilities in and messing up the calculations.
Scaling current technology to this level is complicated by obstacles that requireΒ error-correcting processesΒ orΒ shieldingΒ to preserve the delicate quantum states long enough for them to be measured.
Linking a number of smaller processors across a network to create a kind of quantum supercomputer is another solution. While quantum information can be transmitted in the form of a light wave, the potential for its state to be irreversibly corrupted along the way makes it an impractical option.
Teleportation requires the receipt of measurements the old-fashioned way β through reliable binary data. Once sent, operations at the receiving end can tweak their own entangled particle until it effectively looks like the original.
The all-important quantum blur of the teleported spin state in the Oxford University experiment was an 86 percent match with the original, more than good enough for it to serve as a logic gate for a simple operation known as aΒ Grover's algorithm, which succeeded with 71 percent efficiency across the two quantum processors.
"By interconnecting the modules using photonic links, our system gains valuable flexibility, allowing modules to be upgraded or swapped out without disrupting the entire architecture," saysΒ Main.
Having options for restructuring a quantum network could diversify the applications for such technology, repurposing networks of computers into cowtools that can measure and test physics at its most fundamental level.
This research was published inΒ Nature.

A short recap from the last drama:
PS is a streamer/gamedev who has a lot of hate for his takes and is under kiwifarm crosshair for being a furry lolcow. Despite that, he is still fairly popular.
He plays WOW hardcore or something with his clan (or whatever in wow) OnlyFangs with are a bunch of streams apparently. This is a recipe for disaster.
In one of the WOW encounters that leave 2 permanent clan members dead, he has a dispute with his clan on stream because he ran away. Whether you agree with it or not, he is so unlikable during the stream everyone comes out and dunks on him. From a simple clan dispute, it turns into a massive drama in which people send him death threats for the lol. He takes it pretty badly and gets kicked out of the clan.
recap over
This time, he went into
Asmongold stream to explain his situation. Needlessly to say, this cause a massive massive seethes from the leftoid
lets enjoy this

OH NO BUDDY!
How sad is it that I, a sperg who irregularly uploads mainly audio only content of niche rdrama schizos and obtuse political satire, has garnered more subs than a guy who uploads daily normieslop raccoon and car videos from his house that his dead cuck father begrudgingly gave him so he wouldn't kill himself and join his fiance in the afterlife?
I guess that argument for not coming on and debating pizzaking has crumbled. Any guesses on the next cope?

So with new Dutch and Belgian laws, to release an online game you need to fill a lot of paperwork so smaller games even without loot boxes wouldn't put effort to release their games in that region.
So here giga r-slurred example: Lollipop Chainsaw remaster. Came out on 12 September and pre orders were available. In Dutch store nothing no preorders no release then on 25 September it drops out. On Belgium store it dropped out on 3rd October. Like why would we need EU standards and etc if countries can reject them and create their own standards. So what online did Lollipop Chainsaw have leaderboard. So Dutch localisation needed 2 weeks (game had preorder early access) to determine if the game was safe and Belgian minister even longer
Like I understand if Germany would do it devs would care or if France or for frick sake Canada but Belgium and Netherlands
With Lollipop Chainsaw it wasn't big deal since game was mostly offline so I just get germ version.
But some games require always online connections. In the past it wasn't an problem but new rule made that before a game comes out officially devs need to ban accounts from those countries from connecting to the services of the game and for PlayStation there is stricter rules that to release on Apple Store. Because omagat save the kids. Local kids are momo, fatima, erkan, adja and ivan (he is refugee from Ukraine)
You can create an account from other country but why would I create a new account ?
https://old.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/t43j3t/sony_really_wants_me_to_stay_in_one_country_and/
So Sony wouldn't update their services and infrastructure and use infrastructure from 2001 despite the massive hacks it had and waste 300 millions on game it throw away in one week.
But games without even loot boxes being banned just because they didn't wanted to deal with paperwork is hilarious

I just ran an event. It was so meaningful to me.
Bla bla bla this libertarian coach cute twink did some gay sporting event involving children
I called someone on my ride home and talked for 30 minutes, all smiles.
I get home late and I'm glad to finally relax. I bellyflop onto the bed and do a dramatic sigh.
this reads like a woman wrote it but ok
My wife says, "did you come in from the garage? Is the laundry done?" I say I don't know. "Get off the bed, I just washed the sheets."
scrotes disrespecting household labour
I said okay and left the room. She followed me and said she didn't know what she did wrong. Asked me if we could start over. I said sure. She told me about her day, said she wants to hear about mine but she's tired and hopes she will fall asleep soon. "Do you still want to tell me about it?" No thanks. The end.
That's it. Idk how to explain it. She knew how important it was. She knew the effort. She knew I was genuinely excited to talk about it. She knew. She knows.
Basically this uncaring harlot doesn't give a solitary frick about her husband or anything he does Let's see if Reddit gave this moid a safe space to vent
β
It was actually your fault
Think hard about this one kiddo, she should have been with you. Why wasn't she?
Expecting support from your life partner is 'largely silly' because of laundry
YEAH FRICK THIS CUTE TWINK AND HIS HAPPINESS
My ex husband used to put so much time and effort into everyone else.
clueless scrote. You have to treat your wife like an r-slured toddler and tell her explicitly what to do all the time.
She'll love that!
Plus he gets directly to bed.. Like what did the kid eat? Was that mom's responsibility?
You mean to tell me Redditors are unlovable psychopaths
Every single r-slur in this thread is explicitly concerned with the fact that had to lift a solitary finger and not be waited on hand and foot 24/7
sounds like a fun relationship!
Maybe it's because I'm a moid but I'm actually fully capable of both performing menial household tasks AND not being a miserable c*nt about it! My DMs are open ladies
I'm still on team foid though because he sounds like more of a woman than she does.
