A mysterious letter sent to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at
the Istana on Monday sparked a massive security scare with several
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers being dispatched to
the Istana to carry out tests on the letters.
According to the Straits Times, a police spokesman said
yesterday that SCDF officers did not find any traces of hazardous
materials on the letter after conducting the tests, but did not
comment on what made it suspicious that there is a need to activate
so many SCDF and security personnel at the scene.
The letter has been sent to the DSO National Laboratories for
further checks. There were no immediate comments from the Prime
Minister’s Office.
PM Lee had not been seen or heard for weeks now. Neither is his
father MM Lee Kuan Yew who is currently away in the United
Kingdom.
This is probably the first time that a letter sent to the Prime
Minister has triggered a security scare. Its sender and contents
remain unknown.
This is a joke...activating so many SCDF and security personnel
for a letter.
Isn't Istana the home of our president? Are PM or MM offices in
there too?
