SINGAPORE – A 12-month conditional warning has been issued to a 21-year-old Singaporean man, known as Facebook user Edmund Zhong, who said he wanted to throw an egg at Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam in a Facebook comment in March 2019.
The police said in a statement on Wednesday (March 11) that their investigations have concluded and an advisory has also been issued to a 48-year-old Singaporean man who responded to the comment telling the younger netizen where Mr Shanmugam could be present at an upcoming Meet-the-People session.
The comments were made on a Channel NewsAsia Facebook post regarding the controversy surrounding Australian Senator Fraser Anning’s comments on the Christchurch shootings on March 15, 2019, that left 50 dead and dozens injured.
The right-wing senator, who was widely condemned for blaming the terror attacks on Muslims, was hit with an egg on the back of his head by a young man at a Melbourne event on March 16, 2019.
