Swiss graffiti master: 5 months jail, 3 strokes of the cane

I can see where this guy is coming from its obviously his hobby, admittedly a tad eccentric. In theory climbing a mountain is technically a bit moronic in that if you fail you die.

So Singapore must have been the Everest of the underground Graffiti world, high risk but high rewards, getting a few scars on your butt is a lot safer than falling off a mountain.

Anyway I am sure like ASBO are being used as trophys in the UK, he will no doubt look at the welts in his butt as some sort of badge of honour.

Macoy and Banos has a bit of a cult following.

Now Banksy Art has almost become mainstream. His artwork selling for a nice tidy sum. I remember a news agent was gutted when the council cleaned off a Banksy image from his shop he begged him to come back and do another one.

my question is though, if he's now considered a convicted criminal will he get deported? I mean they ask you if you have a criminal record on your ep application so surely he'll have to say yes and then it's bye bye!

right?

If he had checked on the law, he wouldn't be doing those act right ?

@Ukdesigner; MOM can always revoked his passes which is highly possible and thru ICA labelled as undesirable person or persona non gratia. Either right after his slam jam time or when he renewes his EP. Either way is bye bye

Good, he won't forget his time in Singapore, probably one of those arrogant pratts who thinks he can behave like he does in his home country (that would make him one of a few). Perhaps he ought to count himself lucky he wasn't in the one of the Gulf states.

Behaving worse. A kind of attitude to see some other nations simply inferior just because they are not as arrogant as an average Westerner. Bet it was something along the line "these idiots will never catch me anyway". I do not really believe in temporary insanity of any sort.

By the way for those interested....

He got his sentence upped to 7 months in appeal, but only served 5 due to good behavior...

And got arrested again as soon as he set foot in Switzerland... he is being investigated for vandalism in trains
