It is believed his latest brush with the authorities stems from one of his latest blog posts on Nov. 27, where Yee made reference to former Nominated MP (NMP) Calvin Cheng and Islam.

Yee was convicted on May 12 and found guilty of wounding the feelings of Christians in a video posted on March 27, four days after Lee Kuan Yew's passing.

He had also uploaded an obscene image onto his blog show where the late Lee and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher engaged in coitus.

He spent about 50 days in remand before being sentenced on July 6 to four weeks' jail, where he was released the day he was sentenced after the punishment was backdated to include his time in remand.
