They should let the Gnome off, we all like the Swiss they have never started wars etc. They gave us swiss army knives, cheese, fondue sets, sound of music and the greatest confidence trick known to mankind Time.

Ok just found a news article and in total agreement about the guy's stupidity!

Of all the countries in the world, Singapore (and that includes the rest of Asia and the Middle East) is definitely not one place I'd ever attempt anything so moronic.

Also Edelweiss but the characters are definitely Austrian; perhaps it's a border thing.

I feel the mrt train looks more lively after his graffiti on it.

Too bad he already break the law here sneaking in a protected areas and vandalish.

Actually some of the graffiti or tagging or bomb in some countries are very artisitic in nature BUT NOT IN SINGAPORE

The law states specifically

Vandalism is punishable by up to three years' jail or a maximum fine of S$2,000, plus three to eight strokes of the cane.

This is Singapore even the Kiwi chap which sent a SMS saying there was a bomb in the plane after 911 got caught and sentenced. It was a hoax but it was not an amusing one for many who got delayed. I was one of them

*with apologies to our swiss friends. it's just a joke. peace!

being married to a swiss and having spent the last 8 yrs there, i have to say i doubt the Swiss govt will get involved. there is plenty of graffiti in switzerland and they are pretty laxed over there when it comes to it but this is singapore and i think most swiss would agree that what oliver did was pretty stupid...

Do most people think about the consequences before the take the action? Are there more rational or irrational people in this world based on your life experience?

1. Apparently, no
2. Irrational

Definitely more irrational people. Otherwise, how did we get the current crop of idiots leading our countries.

But the problem is the irrational people think they are rational! How irrational of the irrational to think they are rational.. i mean is this rational?
