Death threats by SMS

Kids are not the only ones who are subject to SMS bullying and harassement. In Malaysia, Road Transport Department enforcement director Solah Mat Hassan has received three threats on his life via SMS, according to the Star.

"The contents of the messages, which were in Bahasa Malaysia, were about being shot, death and bullets." 

And in another related article, the Star reports that a Brazilian football coach coach, Mirandinha, received a death threat from a disgruntled fan by text message, telling him to leave the country immediately (Malaysia) or his Brazilian wife would be murdered.
