Updated at 5.33pm: The Indonesian Consul-General to Hong Kong on Thursday denied a news report that a consular official from his country had received death threats before last week?s Bali blast.
The Apple Daily on Thursday reported that a consular official received a mobile phone text message last Friday evening, reading: ?I will kill you?. He was on his way to Central after leaving the Indonesian Consulate on Leighton Road in Causeway Bay.
The report said the consular official, who lived in Central, had also received two calls in which the caller terminated the call before saying anything.
A spokesman for the consul-general on Thursday afternoon said the Consul had not received any threatening letters. He said no consular staff lived in Central.
The spokesman said the consulate would contact police about the incident and investigate whether any of its staff had reported any intimidation.
He also said the consulate?s security needed not be improved.
