Singapore probes death threat against PM on FB
Print Edition
Singapore police said they were investigating after Facebook posts showing photographs of bullets were addressed to the prime minister of the city-state, which prides itself on its stability and security.
鈥淧olice confirm reports have been lodged and investigations are ongoing,鈥 a Singapore Police Force spokesman said yesterday without providing details about the posts tagging Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Such online death threats against leaders are rare in Singapore, regarded as one of the world鈥檚 safest societies, and with strict gun control laws.
A post on the Facebook page 鈥淕M Pheonix鈥 on Friday evening showed the photo of a bullet placed on camouflage fabric accompanied with the caption: 鈥淟ee Hsien Loong let鈥檚 play a game. Find me if you can coz this bullet will go through your head soon.鈥
A second post on Saturday showed a picture of two bullets in a magazine. It was captioned: 鈥淟ee Hsien Loong ... everyone deserves a second chance.鈥
