The local authorities are still in contact with their counterparts in the United States regarding the Dickson Yeo espionage case, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told The Straits Times over the weekend.
Although the MHA declined to provide further information, observers say that the authorities here are not likely to take further legal action against Yeo, a Singaporean who was jailed for spying on the US for China, as his actions did not constitute a direct threat to Singapore.
