Who did this???

There is vandalism case which happened last week at Valley Street estate. Ms Rachel was actually queuing for her bus at the bus stop and she came across a "bunch" of primary school students using sticky notes to paste around the poster at the bus stop. She seems to be rather surprised by their actions. Ms Rachel said that the students might be expected to spread awareness to the public in town through various publicity stunts but isn't it considered as vandalism? Students should not be taught to spread awareness to the public by pasting sticky notes on the poster/government property. That is a wrong concept that their school has taught them!

Vandalism is a bad habit!

Schools should take disciplinary actions towards the students if they were caught vandalising in or outside of the school. They need to be taught what should be the right way to do things. Some students, especially the younger ones tend to be more mischevious. They might love art too much and think that vandalism is a form of art. Anytime, anywhere. That is so wrong! Vandalism in SIngapore is a serious offend. Vandalism is whereby one criminalizes a number of different acts done in relationship to public and private property, namely, stealing, destroying or damaging public property; and, without the property owner's written consent.
