The Judiciary Police (PJ) questioned a 24-year-old local woman on Wednesday on suspicion of what in legal parlance is known as “threatening to commit a crime”.
The woman put a slip of paper, on which “bomb inside” was written in Chinese, inside a cake box holding a birthday cake.
She asked a staff member in a hotel to take the box to a guestroom in which her boyfriend was staying, to give him a “surprise”. In fact, the woman did not put a bomb in the box, according to the Judiciary Police.
