A 25-year-old woman has been arrested in Singapore for painting graffiti and placing stickers on public property, police said.
Graffiti and other forms of vandalism are very rare in Singapore. Almost all past cases have involved foreign men, including American teenager Michael Fay, who was caned in 1994.
Police did not identify the woman or her nationality. Officers said a convicted vandal would face mandatory caning and a fine or jail term, but Singapore law exempts women and males aged 50 or older from being caned.
The paintings and stickers were cryptic messages written mostly in the local English dialect.
The statement said police take “a serious view of such irresponsible actions” and they will be “dealt with severely”.
