Vandalism law may get a relook: Shanmugam

The Government will relook its stance on vandalism if the majority of society wants more freedom for artistic expression, Law Minister K. Shanmugam said on Saturday.

But amid the public debate on what constitutes art and vandalism stemming from the 'Sticker Lady' affair, he said it is difficult to say there is a consensus that there should be change.

His comments come after the recent arrest of a woman who allegedly pasted stickers on traffic lights and stencil-painted roads and buildings with Singlish phrases such as 'My Grandfather Road' and 'Press Until Shiok'.

Those found guilty of vandalism can be fined up to $2,000 or jailed for up to three years. If the offender is male, he may also be caned.
