SINGAPORE: Police said the youth who started the Facebook group that stirred feelings of unhappiness and resentment against other races would be placed on a Guidance Programme.
And the two youths who acted as administrators of the site have been cautioned and will not have any record of criminal conviction.
Similarly, the other youth will not have any record of criminal conviction should he satisfactorily complete the Guidance Programme. But he may be warned after satisfactorily completing the programme.
The police said these actions were taken in consideration that the youths acted out of immaturity rather than malice and in consultation with the Attorney's General Chambers.
The boys have since apologised for their actions and the offensive online page and forum removed.
The police would like to remind the public that it takes a serious view of acts that can threaten the social harmony in Singapore. This includes those who do so hiding behind a shroud of anonymity afforded by the Internet. - CNA/vm
