SINGAPORE - Former Member of Parliament Mansor Sukaimi, under investigation for the circulation of "an e-mail with undesirable content", got off with just a warning from the Singapore police.

They warned Mansor that they did not want to see a repeat of the incident in which he sent an e-mail accusing a ministry of biased job-hiring practices.

Police completed their investigation which began early last month and told the former Kampong Kembangan MP to be "more careful when sending e-mail", a police spokesman told The Straits Times.

Details of the probe were not disclosed but police said last month that Mansor was assisting them in an investigation concerning the circulation of "an e-mail with undesirable content".

Laptop removed

According to the report, Mansor was interviewed by the police during the course of investigations and even had a laptop computer removed from his home.

The e-mail in question was reportedly sent to a minister and copied to several other people, the newspaper said.

Mansor was known to have sent e-mail messages to friends and contacts regularly, sharing his views o­n politics in Singapore as well as o­n religion and the Malay/Muslim community, said the newspaper.

He was an administrative officer in the civil service before joiningpolitics, during which time he was assigned to the National Trades Union Congress. More recently, he has been with the Nury Institute of Family and Child Development.
