Bomb hoax man charged
By Elena Chong
A MAN was charged on Thursday with making a false threat of a terrorist act to the police on Monday evening. Tham Hin Mun, 35, allegedly called a Clementi Police Division operations room staff, Mr Terence Chia Chien Chin, saying he was angry with an investigation officer for not returning him a sum of $2,600 regarding his licence. He went on to say over the payphone that at Block 76A Telok Blangah Street 32 that he would 'give him and the police station a bomb' which he knew to be false. He was remanded for psychiatric examination. He will be back in court on Oct 28. If convicted, he faces a fine of $100,000 and/or a jail term of up to five years.
