“Each letter was enclosed in an official envelope from the National University of Singapore and contained a note with the following abusive words: ‘Heavy is the head which weareth the crown, eyes tainted with guilt, tongue defiled by lies, bloody are thy hands which are stained with a child’s blood’.”
