Reflection

"Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain, 'move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20-21

Vandalism- what charges to you face?

ST 16 Jan 09, Fri

Vandalize - to destroy or deface (public or private property) wilfully or maliciously.

Man faces 3 charges of Vanalism, allegedly scribbled words thrice on a display wall outside
Parliament House. Each referring to SPM Lee. Prosecution applying for his remand in IMH. If found guilty (which i believe is super highly possible) could be fined up to $2k or jailed for up to three years. Anithing to do with government stuff, dont mess with us, Singapore. Especially political figures. Media coverage will bring you down.

More or less i'm proud of Singapore being able to curb vandalism. Unlike Australia or any other country in the world. I doubt no country has such strict regulations like Spore. To be fair in say, i feel that Spore has good legal regulations over anything that is considered a crime, under our law. The critical point is not only having the good law but also the good enforcement of the law.

Thank God Spore is small. What do i feel when i see vandalism in Brisbane?
Hmm... a bit disgusted. Shocked at first. Then gradually, i understand why people vandalise and i feel sad. Sad for both the perpetrators and the country.

I rmb watching a movie starring one of the characters- a juvenile delinquent. He sought attention from graffiti. He told his fren that he was leaving his mark behind. When people look at his 'art', he feels that they are watching him. He feels recognised. He lacked attention and love from his family. He looked to crime offending instead.
