SINGAPORE — Frustrated that Taiwanese politicians had not responded to his claims that the use of coal power plants was causing cancer, a manFile photo of the Singapore State Court s.Loo Peng Seng, a 53-year-old Singaporean, sent two Taiwanese politicians bomb threats over Facebook messenger
After not receiving a response, he decided to send the threatening messages to"test" if they had"deliberately ignored" him The man was arrested within 12 hours of the reported bomb threats and preliminary investigations had revealed that he had no intention or means to carry out his threats.Sometime between July and November 2018, Loo started sending direct messages to two Taiwanese politicians, the president of Taiwan's legislature Han Guo Yu, and Mr Lo Chih-Chiang, a member of the legislature.
Loo hypothesised that if he was approached by the authorities following the sending of the messages, it would confirm that the politicians had read his messages but “deliberately ignored” him, said DPP Choo. The next day, he sent another message over Facebook, stating: “Han Guo Yu, I am going to make sure I will also blow up your family members with car bombs.”
