An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Tan Yeong Hong, 33, said he became frustrated when he attended Mr Lee’s Meet the People Session only to realise that the Prime Minister would not be there.
SINGAPORE: A 33-year-old man has pleaded guilty to sending four threatening messages to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Facebook in June this year.
Tan Yeong Hong said he became frustrated when he attended Mr Lee’s Meet the People Session only to realise that the Prime Minister would not be there.
In the messages, Tan said: “Eh, You challenged me to visit your MPS but you are not here. I will find and stage an Attack on you when I have information on your Public Appearances. You know who I am”. Tan also included his NRIC number and handphone number in the messages.
Tan faced another two charges of voluntarily causing hurt to two public servants, punching one policeman on the shoulder and elbowing another in the face.
Tan, who has since been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, admitted he sent the threatening messages but had no intention of carrying the threats out.
District Judge Mathew Joseph convicted Tan on the three counts – one of criminal intimidation and two of causing hurt to public servants – but adjourned Tan’s sentencing to a later date, to allow for Tan to engage counsel.
The case will next be heard on Oct 15.
