SINGAPORE: Police have arrested a former Singaporean for the offence of "threatening, abusing or insulting a public servant".
In response to media queries, police confirmed that Gopalan Pallichadath Nair, who is now a US citizen, was arrested at Broadway Hotel along Serangoon Road on Saturday.

Why is MM Lee still even a public servant? He should be retired.
Looks like even the slightest thing can insult him anyway...
