Using the online nickname of " krisurf " , he titled the post " Breaking News - Toa Payoh hit by bomb attacks " , claiming bombs had been found at the Toa Payoh bus interchange . Another forum member was alarmed by the post and reported it to police . Lin had made the post while connected to his neighbour 's unsecured wireless network , police initially arrested his neighbour , who was released after further computer forensics tests exonerated her . It took the police more than a year to find and arrest Lin . In February 2007 , he was sentenced to three months ' jail and a S$ 4,000 fine
