Mr Alan Shadrake's arrest comes just two days after a police report was lodged by the Media Development Authority.

The alleged offences are related to the 75-year-old's latest book titled Once A Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice In The Dock.

The 219-page book is filled with accounts of high-profile cases in Singapore involving the use of the death penalty and includes interviews with the country's former executioner Mr Darshan Singh. MORE
