According to officials, the package contained meat believed to be pork, considered offensive within Islamic practice. The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed there were no hazardous materials, though one person was treated for breathlessness. Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam stressed the seriousness of the act, warning that attempts to intimidate or offend religious communities would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"654\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-000227.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134331\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-000227.png 654w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-26-000227-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in Sweden, a mosque in the town of Hultsfred was destroyed in a fire late at night.
