Cenotaph vandal gets 3 months' jail, 3 strokes - 26Aug2013
SINGAPORE: A security officer who vandalised the Cenotaph War Monument was sentenced to three months' jail and three strokes of the cane on Monday.
Mohamad Khalid Mohamad Yusop, 33, was also made to pay S$208 to the state for the cost of repair.
He had used a can of red spray paint to write an X followed by the word Democracy on the monument on 23 April night.
In sentencing, District Judge Lim Tse Haw described the act as highly anti-social and very selfish.
Citing the case of Oliver Fricker, the foreigner who vandalised two SMRT train carriages, the judge said Singapore's strict laws against vandalism are largely responsible for a clean and graffiti-free environment here.
While the judge noted that the cost of repair was higher in the Fricker case at about S$11,000, compared with the S$208 in the Cenotaph case, he said the key aggravating factor is the significance of the public property that was vandalised.
Built in 1922, the Cenotaph monument is dedicated to the memory of 124 British soldiers born or resident in Singapore who died in World War I. It was later also dedicated to the memory of those who died in World War II.
These soldiers sacrificed their lives so that we can enjoy the peace that we have today, the judge told Mohamad Khalid. By your actions, you have shown great disrespect to the memory of our war dead and hurt the feelings of their descendants.
The judge noted that Mohamad Khalid had a low level of premeditation.
He also took into account the fact that Mohamad Khalid had apologized and sought the forgiveness of all Singaporeans for his unthinking action.
Still, the judge said the monument is in a public place and a deterrent sentence is warranted.
Mohamad Khalid could have been fined up to S$2,000 or jailed up to three years and caned between three and eight strokes.

i Light Singapore Bicentennial Edition - Cenotaph for a Stone
Cenotaph for a Stone - Bryan Joseph Cadag, Loo Quan Le and Zulkarnain Bin Mohd Zin from National University Singapore (Singapore)
Cenotaph for a Stone serves as a reinterpretation of the Singapore Stone — what it was, what it is and what it could have been. Taking cues from the stone's decimation in 1843, the installation seeks to monumentalise the event that forever perpetuated its mysticism, as well as set a factual context to the stone that is commonly misconstrued by the fictionalised ‘Badang’ folklore.
The installation comprises 51 ‘rock fragments’ on steel pedestals, with the 52nd pedestal left empty, hinting at the only piece that remains of the Singapore Stone (with its whereabouts known), which currently resides in the National Museum of Singapore. The ‘rock fragments’ are placed in an orchestrated fashion that hypothesizes what the stone could have looked like. This faux stone can be seen as a whole when viewed from the front of the installation. However, the perspective shifts to a time-warped explosion as the visitor walks around its perimeter.
