Political graffiti in Singapore - making the front page of the papers at that!
What would be commonplace in most cities is front-page news in Singapore. Commentators on the internet bulletin boards are calling this grafitti artist a hero - though certainly I wouldn't give him or her marks for artistry: it is an angry violent sort of graffiti.
See the thread at hardwarezone.com, one of the most popular online forums in Singapore. or come here to read the article in the New Paper, which hews more to the graffiti is bad and "be rational" perspectives. The last sentence in the article, in case anyone forgets, is "Those found guilty of vandalism will be fined up to $2,000 or jailed up to three years and will receive between three and eight strokes of the cane."Labels: Singapore
