Kuala Lumpur, Apr. 29 : An 18-year-old college student has apologised to DAP national chairman Karpal Singh for posting a death threat against him on a website hosted by Pas Johor Baru.

The student, accompanied by his father and Johor Baru Pas representative, turned up at the Johor Baru (South) district police headquarters on Monday afternoon and admitted that he was responsible for posting the death threat.

Police recorded a statement from the student and released him.

The death threat had been part of brickbats hurled at Karpal following allegations that he was a bigot for continuously opposing the formation of an Islamic state, reports the New Strait Times. (ANI)
