Are you ready to accept it as the new normal? Is it that we are not “chill” enough to embrace their behaviour?

On the first night that PSP posters were put up in Bukit Batok, several were found to be vandalised and on the floor instead of its original position hung on the lamp post. But the PAP posters above it were left intact and undamaged.

A 55 year old man has been arrested by the police for his suspected involvement in a case of vandalism. Police received reports that at about 1:40 pm on March 23, six cars parked along Exeter Road had been splashed with paint remover. This had caused the paint of the six vehicles to peel off.

A Facebook user alerted authorities to a damaged OBike which had its QR code torn off and sprayed with black paint. Why are people so inconsiderate these days?

My neighbour turned an OFO bike to gold with his Midas touch. Please see the attached photo. He encountered the god Dionysus last week and was granted one wish for his good deed of hiring a Singaporean instead of a foreigner.

I found a series of Obikes with wrangled saddles and twisted handle bars and broken pedals along Eu Tong Seng road and Hill Street yesterday in what appears to be an act of vandalism and mischief. Has anyone been prosecuted for bike vandalism?

I found a long deep scratch on my new Honda Odyssey's fuel door as well as 2 equally deep but smaller scratches on the left rear passenger side door when I went to drive my car this morning of 3 May 2017. As you can see from the pictures, it was obviously a deliberate act. The car was parked at level 3B of the multi-storey car park at Blk 450B Tampines Street 42 when it was scratched. Luckily, I managed to enlist the help of one of the motorists whose car was parked opposite mine to pass me the video footage of the culprit in action. I am willing to give the culprit a chance to contact me to make amends through compensation. You know who you are. If I do not hear from you soon, I will proceed to take the necessary action against you.

The police have confirmed that a 43 year old man has been arrested in connection with the recent spate of vandalism in several areas in Bugis. The police have reportedy received several reports of vandalism on the facades of the National Design Centre, Fu Lu Shou Complex, The Prospex, OG Albert and Bugis+ Shopping Centre on Monday. The suspect was finally arrested at Hougang Avenue 8 on Thursday, after referring to closed-circuit television images. Police also confirmed that they seized a marker pen, a bicycle and some clothing. The vandalism came to light on Monday, when some Chinese words were scrawled on walls and pillars in several areas at Bugis. The messages appear to include a gang number and the name of a person, followed by the Chinese words: "Come out if you dare."

Loansharks are now targeting primary schools to leave their vandalism mark, just to get back at the people who are presumed to owe them money. Their modus operandi now changed, from targeting block of flats where debtors live, to schools where their children go to. The latest incident occurred at White Sands Primary School, where splashes of red paint streaked the wall beside the school's main gate in Pasir Ris Street 11, while "O$P$" was daubed in black paint. Police say this incident is related to loansharking activities. This is not the first time a school had been targeted. Last month, a man was convicted of splashing paint at a Tanjong Pagar pre-school attended by a debtor's children.

The art student who wrapped part of a staircase at her HDB block at Jalan Rajah has told reporters that she will remove the art work, despite getting praises from netizens. HDB and the Town Council had indicated that the art work is not lawful. The student, Priyageetha Dia, insisted that she did it as an art piece, and not as an act of vandalism. The Town Council having said that the installation was unlawful, had nevertheless delayed washing of the particular staircase during the usual block washing, stating that they did not want to destroy the art piece, giving time for the student to remove it.
