fuckwarezone (HWZ) is a forum that is owned by SPH Magazines, which will be (if I am not wrong) moved under SPH Media Holdings Pte Ltd, a non-profit entity that the government of Singapore intends to fund using taxpayers' money.
HWZ is infamous for its sub-forum called Eat-Drink-Man-Woman, mainly due to the frequent anti-Malay, anti-Muslim and anti-Islam remarks made by several of its members.
It's not an exaggeration to say that at least one offensive remark will be found there every few days. Sometimes in any given day, depending on how often a Malay/Muslim individual is in the news for the wrong reasons. One Malay gets arrested, the whole community gets insulted. One Muslim gets arrested, the whole religion gets insulted. One Malay / Muslim highlighting a race/religious issue, the entire race/religion gets lambasted for not being inclusive.
Mind you, I'm not the only one to notice the racism. Mothership.sg wrote an article about it: https://mothership.sg/2015/04/islamophobia-and-racism-are-cancers-in-the-fuckwarezone-forums-which-need-curing/.
From the URL above, you can see that the post dated as far back as 2015.
Anyway, as of several months ago, I have:
Ever since that Mothership's article was published, have you read in the news about anyone from HWZ getting arrested for insulting the Malays/Muslims? I'm sure that the answer is NO. And that's one of the biggest mysteries of Singapore.
You may argue that it's because those insulting remarks were only sensitive to me but not anything that would warrant a criminal charge. Well, if that's what you think, then read on.

Anyway, as of several months ago, I have:
- lodged a police report against that forum.
- compiled a list of offensive posts <-- read all of these when you have the time.
- emailed Eugene Wee, the head of SPH Magazines
- He replied once but ignored my subsequent emails.
- emailed the administrator of the forum
- Like Eugene, he said he would do something about it. Apparently, he did not do much.
- emailed the Mufti of Singapore
- He said that since I've already lodged a police report, let the police do their work.
- emailed high profile Muslim celebrities to help raise awareness
- NONE REPLIED
