City police probe online death threat against PM

Messages posted on Facebook page include pictures of bullets, taunts and promises of harm

Singapore police said on Monday an investigation was under way after Facebook posts showing photographs of bullets were addressed to the prime minister of the city-state, which prides itself on its stability and security.

"Police confirm reports have been lodged and investigations are ongoing," a Singapore Police Force spokesman said without providing further details about the posts tagging Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
