A 23-year-old was arrested today for transmitting an online threat against Reform Party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam.


The Police said the arrest arose from the report lodged by Mr Jeyaretnam on Jan 18. On that day, Mr Jeyaretnam had been spotted leaving the Sengkang Neighbourhood Police Centre.


Mr Jeyaretnam has said that he and his family have been receiving death threats since he was announced as a candidate for the Punggol East by-election.


One of the threats involved two e-mails that were sent to his son who lives in London.


The Police have classified the case as Criminal Intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224.

It said that investigations are ongoing.


The Police did not reveal the identity of the person arrested.

Hope this case will reveal which organisation is behind the putrid fart.

KJ should drop the case if he want a good fight in GE2016.

I thought the invoker was a troll running SMRT Ltd (Feedback) which is a parody of SMRT?

At least we know it's a 23 year old. Based on his jokes, he did sound like a young person.

Same as what most of us have against his totally ill-conceived campaign.

I really wonder why people still have such a silly thing as a twitter account.
It is like being introduced to a casino. The danger of doing damage to oneself is very great.

The Police did not reveal the identity of the person arrested.

Then how we know if he is ISD agent?

 

[steffychun]

Very strange. 23 year olds are clearly not minors. Maybe he's a government scholar?

He might be sick.

If ISD 'inspired', this chap would not have been caught. Secret squirrel is still around undetected.

 

[GoldenDragon]

He might be sick.

Or, wants attention.

 

[steffychun]

He might be sick.

Sick people are named like Gopalan Nair
