Newsroom/Yahoo! photo - Reform Party's Kenneth Jeyaretnam arrives,
flanked by supporters.
In a dramatic twist, Reform
Party says its rally on Sunday evening will proceed as
planned.
This after it had said earlier in the morning that it would not
proceed with its rally at an open field in front of Blk 183C at
Rivervale unless the safety of party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam and
its supporters would be ensured.
At the time, it said the party was still in discussion with the
Singapore police and Interpol to provide extra
security.
But in a Facebook post shortly before
2pm, the party said, "The police have assured us
that it's safe toattend the rally and security has been
stepped up. So come along and don't be afraid."
On Friday, RP chief and Punggol East by-election candidate Kenneth
Jeyaretnam filed a police report after receiving
messages "tantamount to death
threats" against him and his family.
He added that there were more than one instance of these warnings
made to him, his wife and his teenage son, who are both living in
London.
"I used that phrase (tantamount to death threats) because the
wording of the threats is too awful for me to say aloud, and I am
sorry that I cannot be more precise," said the
53-year-old.
He added that he later received another "credible threat of
violence".
