Controversy

[edit | edit source]

Chase Tan was cast as one of the characters in My Guardian Angels, a 2020 Singaporean Chinese-language drama about three mothers struggling to raise their children alone. The fictional drama depicts Tan as Bai Shande, a paedophile basketball coach with sexually transmitted diseases who molested teenage boys. Bai was sentenced to jail and caning after his being arrested for his crimes.[citation needed]

The appearance of the character sparked controversy for its alleged discrimination against the LGBTQ community in Singapore, to which Mediacorp and also Tan himself made official apologies for the feature and assured the LGBTQ public that they had no intent to discriminate the LGBTQ in Singapore.[8][9]
