Overheard from the net :
“To those who believe that what they did is right, why not get your own children to do it? And to those who think that it is an art, why not invite them to spray in your home? To hate the govt is ok. To break the law is not ok at all. So to the supporters who are saying craps, do wake up your ideas. Groom your children to do what they did if u must!!”
Sad to see some hailing these as heroes, as if they are egging more to come forward. Just like those hackers, these boys just destroyed their own future.

Kudos to our men in blue.
For those whose hatred of the PAP has driven them to regard these 5 youths as heroes, ask yourself:
Would you encourage any of your family members to commit the same crime?
Would you allow these youths to vandalise the walls inside your house?
Acts of vandalism, empty talk and hypocrisy are not going to change our lives for the better.
***********************************************
Those who hail the youths as heroes and defend their actions just because the graffiti was against the PAP are selfish people and unkind to the youths.
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the PAP. Instead of guiding the youths in the right direction by encouraging them to express their opposing views in a constructive way with rational thought and reason, they are supporting destructive actions that achieve nothing but are also a potential danger to the youths themselves.
Exactly how much do these youths, at 17 only, understand government policies anyway? They should be encouraged to learn more and find out what is it they don’t like about which policies etc.

Is it because they cannot afford the iPhone 5S? ?

You do the crime, you pay the time.
If you don’t agree with the government’s policies, come out make your stand. Vandalism is for cowards.

Sheesh,
17 years old,
How much taxes you all are paying?
How long life Journey you all have been through?
Adolescents, naive, foolish, and ignorant,
Wasted your talents, youth and potential,
How much you all know about current affairs?
How much you all know about politics?
To have such audacity to vandalise public property with your crude, unpolished and sore graffiti.
Your parents should reflect, reflect till the end of day, what have they not done, which they should as parents, to raise such losers kids.
Don’t cry scapegoat.
Our justice is fair.
Your tweeters betrayed you.
