The Police have arrested a 61-year-old Chinese man for his suspected involvement in sending out a parcel via mail with deliberate intent to wound the racial feelings of a person. 

On 24 September 2025 at about 5.20pm, the Police were alerted to a case of a suspicious parcel being delivered to a mosque at 2 Serangoon North Avenue 2. For this case, the parcel contained a piece of pork.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras, officers from Bedok Police Division and Criminal Investigation Department established the identity of the man and arrested him on 25 September 2025. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man is allegedly involved in several similar cases at other mosques around Singapore.

The man will be charged in court on 27 September 2025 with the offence of deliberately intending to wound the racial feelings of a person under Section 298 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to three years, or a fine, or both. 

The Police take a very serious view of acts that threaten Singapore’s racial and religious harmony. Such behaviour will not be condoned, and offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.
