SINGAPORE — On Sept 23 last year, Abdul Rahim Abu Bakar used black spray paint to scrawl “Big bully” and “ISD big bully” in capital letters on the walls and door of Chong Pang Neighbourhood Police Post.
This was the latest among a string of offences that he had committed that month, including refusing to take a urine test after arrest, and not paying for food and drinks he consumed in a 7-Eleven convenience store, claiming that the police will foot his bill.
For one charge each of vandalism, theft and drug-related offences, the 51-year-old Singaporean was jailed for seven years and three months on Tuesday (March 15).
A fourth charge was taken into consideration during sentencing.
The court heard that on Sept 16 last year, Abdul Rahim walked into a 7-Eleven outlet at Marina Square mall at 6.49pm and picked up a 1.5L bottle of soft drink and drank a quarter of it.
He then went to the counter and handed the opened bottle to the cashier, saying that it was not tasty. He also told her that he had no money to pay for the drink.
The store manager was informed but allowed Abdul Rahim to leave out of leniency.
However, he returned a few hours later to the same store, this time picking up a loaf of bread, curry puff and another 1.5L bottle of soft drink to consume. He told the staff member there that he had no money for the items and that the police would pay for them.
When he refused to leave, the staff member approached a security officer who then called the police for help.
