Singapore — A 71-year-old man has been sentenced to four weeks’ jail for defacing public property. He had used an indelible black marker to scribble phrases which appeared to be in support of blogger Roy Ngerng on the advertisement boards of bus stops and an electrical box.

Loh Thiam Hock was originally charged with vandalism but had his charges amended to mischief.

The court heard that on May 22 Loh had committed numerous acts of mischief from about 2.35pm to 7pm. Loh had written phrases on the advertisement boards at bus stops, such as “We support CPF Blogger, Return our CPF Money R/AC & M/AC, Above 65 yrs Bal S$5,000 in M/AC”, along River Valley Road.

Mr Ngerng is currently being sued by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The libel suit arose from a blog post last month, where he alleged misappropriation of Central Provident Fund (CPF) monies.

The prosecution sought for a jail term of at least one to three months, arguing that the damages were caused to both public and private property.

In mitigation, Loh, who was unrepresented and spoke through a Hokkien interpreter, said he is currently unemployed and merely picks up tin cans as a rag-and-bone man.

In sentencing, the district judge noted that the graffiti was visible to the public
