Graffiti on Blk 85 TPayoh flat: How to properly report this news in S’pore

[ykhuser]

The bit that fascinates me is not the main feature but the supplementary bit on the extreme right. It's over a sheer 20 story drop and there's no ledge to stand on. It was obviously done at close quarters so how was it done?

1)saw so many vent pipe on the roof.so smelly like hell.can collect all the methane gas and cause an explosion
2)there is a wide edge to stand on.what we saw on the photo is not what rightfully reflected.
3)This blk should have a kitchen extension done during the main upgrading phase

The way to properly report any news is to tell the whole truth and lay out all the facts and not cover up any part of it.

In fact any responsible news media with any integrity would have found out by now what prompted the five teenagers to do it.They would have interviewed friends/families/neighbours/colleagues/classmates to find out what could be the cause of their actions.

They are trying to portray it as a simple case of mischief/vandalism when its a political protest with wide significance.

Three of the five suspects seen being brought to court on May 10, 2014 to be charged for allegedly vandalising the rooftop of a HDB flat in Toa Payoh.​

Five teenagers, arrested in connection with the high-rise vandalism at the rooftop of a Toa Payoh HDB block on Wednesday, were charged for the offence on Saturday. The 17-year-old boys, who face charges of vandalism with common intention for the incident at Block 85A, Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, have been remanded for a week for further investigations at Tanglin Police Division. Goh Rong Liang, David William Graaskov, Chay Nam Shen, Boaz Koh Wen Jie and Reagan Tan Chang Zhi - all Singaporeans - were brought to the State Courts on Saturday morning after they were nabbed by the police on Friday - just two days after a report over the incident was lodged. If convicted, the boys could each be jailed for up to three years or fined up to $2,000, and receive at least three strokes of the cane.

SINGAPORE - The last teen involved in the Toa Payoh rooftop vandalism case pleaded guilty in a Community Court on Monday.

Goh Rong Liang, 18, a cashier, admitted to four of five charges - one of spraying graffiti on the walls atop Block 85A Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, stealing four cans of spray paint and two of trespassing at the HDB rooftop and Marina Bay Suites last year.

One of the five, David William Graaskov, 18, has been placed on 15 months' probation.

Although Graaskov agreed with his friends - Goh, Reagan Tan Chang Zhi, Chay Nam Shen and Boaz Koh Wen Jie, all 18 - to spray the rooftop of Block 85A, he did not join them as he left the group at 11.50pm on May 6 to catch the last bus home.

SAF commando training paid off for Singaporeans, Singapore style of protest, in bravery form, SAF standard no muck around.

Brave and Swift SAF commando NSF soldier to show PAP not to muck and use military curfew or army to hurt Singaporeans.

Only useless jiuhu and KL kia NO NSF training will kpkb protest in mass for nothing.

The bit that fascinates me is not the main feature but the supplementary bit on the extreme right. It's over a sheer 20 story drop and there's no ledge to stand on. It was obviously done at close quarters so how was it done?

Fourth teen in Toa Payoh vandalism case gets probation

Published on Mar 12, 2015 11:33 AM

Goh Rong Liang, 18, a cashier, had admitted to vandalising the rooftop of Block 85A, Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, stealing four cans of spray paint, trespassing into the HDB block as well as Marina Bay Suites. -- ST PHOTO: WONG KWAI CHOW

SINGAPORE - A teenager became the fourth to be given probation on Thursday for his role in the Toa Payoh rooftop graffiti case.

Goh Rong Liang, 18, a cashier, had admitted to vandalising the rooftop of Block 85A, Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, stealing four cans of spray paint, trespassing into the HDB block as well as Marina Bay Suites.

He committed the offences with Boaz Koh Wen Jie, Reagan Tan Chang Zhi, David William Graaskov and Chay Nam Shen, all 18, in March and May last year.

All, except Koh, have been placed on probation. Koh's case will come up for mention again in May.

The five friends, who adopted the name Mikecool for their group, stole the $12 worth of spray paint from a parked lorry at Lorong 5, at about 11.45pm on May 6. Shortly before midnight, Goh, Koh, Tan and Chay went to the rooftop of Block 85A to spray the walls.

Although Graaskov had agreed to take part, he left the group to catch the last bus home.

The court heard that the four managed to trespass into the secured rooftop by climbing through a gap between the walls.

They waited for about 10 minutes for the lights in the opposite unit to go off before they started spraying the walls with expletives directed at the People's Action Party.

Investigations also showed that Goh and his friends committed criminal trespass at the Marina Bay Suites condominium at Marina Boulevard on March 29 last year.

On Thursday, Goh was placed on 21 months' probation. He has to remain indoors from 10pm to 6am and perform 160 hours of community service. His mother and sister signed a bond of $8,000 to ensure his good behaviour.

The maximum penalty for vandalism is a $2,000 fine or three years' jail plus up to eight strokes of the cane.

Could have got a lighter sentence had they scribbled 'Long live LKY. Happy SG50' on the wall. You know how things are in Singapore.

We would also have been spared from the cringe-worthy attempts at censorship from the presstitutes.

 

[tanwahtiu]

Bro, it make sense now, possible using drone to write it.

There were no shoes marks on the wall. Not easy to draw one big circle.

I suspected 3 or more drones were used for this project. 1 or 2 drones to paint to get quick exit. And 1 or 2 guide the other drones painting it.

There was no spiderman, ultra man or any man for that matter. No one was around. It was done with a spray painting drone . Hey, we are living in the high tech age lah. Read this and see the video. The way its painted in Toa Payoh similar to how the graffiti looks like when spray painted by a drone:
