Singaporean boy behind Lee Kuan Yew death hoax gets ‘stern warning’

A Singaporean boy behind a hoax that triggered premature reports about the death of Singapore’s founding leader Lee Kuan Yew has been let off with a “stern warning” in lieu of charges, police said today.
A screenshot of a fake statement that appeared to be from the website of the Prime Minister’s Office announcing Lee’s death was widely circulated via social media and mobile messaging services on March 18, five days before Lee died in hospital after a long illness.
A number of international media organisations issued news alerts based on the fake statement, which they later retracted.
The Singapore Police Force said today that it had “completed investigations” into the case.
“The culprit is a male Singaporean student below 16 years of age,” it said in a statement.
The boy cannot be named in public due to his age.
“In consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the police have issued him with a stern warning in lieu of prosecution,” the statement added, referring to Singapore’s state prosecution arm.
The AGC, quoted by the Straits Times newspaper’s website, said the boy only shared the fake image with friends to show “how easy it was for a hoax to be perpetuated”, but it was quickly forwarded to other persons.

The bogus reports on Lee’s death forced government-linked media and politicians from the ruling People’s Action Party to take to social media to quash widespread rumours.
Lee, the father of current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, died on March 23 after being treated at the Singapore General Hospital for seven weeks due to severe pneumonia.
Lee, praised for turning Singapore into a vibrant global financial hub during his rule as prime minister from 1959 to 1990, was cremated on March 29 after a week of national mourning and a grand state funeral.
Last month, another Singaporean blogger, Amos Yee, 16, was charged for uploading an expletive-laden online critique of Lee Kuan Yew and Christianity.
Yee was charged with offences including obscenity and hurting religious feelings over the eight-minute YouTube video. Yee was arrested on the day of Lee's funeral.
Yee was also charged with circulating on his blog an obscene object - a graphic cartoon of Lee with former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - as well as making threatening, abusive or insulting communication under the city-state's newly enacted Protection from Harassment Act.
The student and amateur actor was later released by the court after posting bail of S$20,000 (HK$113,000).
Outside the courtroom, his teary-eyed father clasped his hands and told reporters: "I would like to take this opportunity to say very sorry to PM Lee."
