The police are investigating a blogger who reposted on his Facebook page a picture offensive to Muslims.
Mr Donaldson Tan, 28, editor of Singapore-based current affairs commentary website New Asia Republic, is alleged to have put up a picture of a pig superimposed on the Kaaba, a cuboid building in Mecca that is sacred in Islam.
Pigs are considered unclean to Muslims.
A screenshot of the post on socio-political website The Online Citizen (TOC) shows the picture accompanied by the text: 'This is a flame bait. YOU ARE WARNED.'
