I know a few countries see graffiti as an art... however I wonder what happens if it happens in Singapore.

Does the government come down hard on these so-called artist?

Yes. Unless it's a government approved or sponsored graffiti painting location.

Time to revive this thread?

This Fricker guy, Its like you are visiting a house and all over the outside are red warning notices saying "You will be beaten if you press the red door bell". Friends tell you you will be beaten if you press the door bell, you even know of a kid who was severely beaten after pressing the red door bell. What does this guy do....? and he is now a bit surprised with the outcome!!

Its will be a political hot potato with the Youth games just around the corner, last thing Singapore needs are international countries boycotting the games if they go down the caning route which is a contravention of Article 3 in the European Convention on Human Rights. Its election year and Govt has to show the people it will not shy away from spanking a white bottom.

While I'm in favor of artistic expression, give this guy a good whoopin'. Sure, one may argue that the law can be draconian or against international treaties and I may agree with these, but this guy has access to knowledge to the consequences of his actions. It's like what QRM said.

Knowing the consequences and doing something anyway because you can handle it is brave. Like that Malaysian Muslim model who even wanted to be caned in public for imbibing alcohol.

Knowing the consequences and doing something anyway and be surprised that you got yourself in trouble is just stupid.

Nakatago : It is an Indonesian Model married to a Malaysian. Yes she was caught drinking alcohol. She deserves it.
Apparently she is being paid in Indonesia Paper to get it done in the public. Slimy very slimy

Yes , I agree with you guys, but Michael P Fay got paid after the canning for his story. More slimy very slimy

Well, at least she'd still go with it.

But true, being paid for these things? That is slimy.

Actually, in Michael Fay's case, it was only fair as the justice meted out here was lopsided with the Honky getting off easier on the appeals/clemency granted by the president. Michael's original caning sentence was reduced by one third while the Honky's was reduced by 50%. I always wondered why the Honky's was reduced by both a higher percentage and number of strokes. Wouldn't have had anything to do with his ethnicity would it?

Michael Fay has since been arrested for drug offences in his home country. As for somebody acting like an idiot, age often has little to do with it. There are plenty of people much older who still act like teenagers - had to work with plenty..........
