• Swiss man to be charged with vandalising train








SINGAPORE: A 33-year-old Swiss national has been charged with trespassing into an MRT depot and vandalising a SMRT train.

Oliver Fricker appeared in Court Saturday morning to face the charges.

He is accused of trespassing into Changi depot on late night of May 16 and early hours of May 17 this year.

He also faces two charges on vandalising an MRT train by spraying paint, and damaging public property by cutting a wired fence belonging to LTA.

Fricker has been offered a bail of $100,000.

He said in Court that he cannot afford the amount and asked it to be lowered to $40,000. But the judge said that his is a serious offence, and therefore kept the $100,000 bail.

His case will be heard again in two weeks' time on June 21.

Another man, a Brit named Lloyd Dane Alexander, is also allegedly involved in the offence. It is not known if he is still in Singapore. Police are still investigating. - CNA/jy

Our govt should sentence Mr Oliver Fricker to death then I can guarantee that nobody - Sinkies, PRC, Bangla, Ah Neh, Thais. Swiss, British, American or Spanish will dare to vandalize our MRT trains ever again...

 

[scoobyhoo]

Just sentence 10,001 strokes of cane of rattan on his bare buttocks in the public, say, botanical garden with admission ticket of $3 per person to public, and fine $100,000. Who dare to so the same again?

Make sure we cane these ang moh badly

Luckily it is not an American but a Swiss from a small country and also our competitor in the banking industry.

MIW should take this opportunity to show to the Swiss that we are their equal and that although we have not attain Swiss standard of living, we can cane and jail their citizens

You dumb retards! These are the mavericks whom we shld be bestowing the greatest honour! If not for them, our security weaknesses wld never have been exposed until the real terrorist bombers! They are like the white hat hackers who expose chinks in online security and firewalls.

The real people who shld be punished are:

1. Ministers responsible for Home Affairs, Transport who have been complacent about our invincibility.

2. The CEO of SMRT

3. SMRT for trying to cover up.

Directing the whole episode onto these benevolent "terrorists" is just a diversion from the real thing, a bogeyman for extraordinary goofs.

Attorney-General : Geeze shit, not again!

Chief Justice : Geeze shit, not again!

Minister for Home Affairs : Geeze shit, not again!

Minister for Foreign Affairs : Geeze shit, not again!

Minister for Transport : Geeze shit, what the shit?

CEO of SMRT : Geeze shit, this shit is worse than peasant jumping track!

Various Ministers : So what the shit do you suggest now?

CEO of SMRT : How the shit I know? Probably setup a committee to sack some scapegoat staff.

Various Ministers : And then?

CEO of SMRT : And then it's all your problem!

Will this be Michael Fay deja vu all over again?
It'll be interesting to see what punishment the swiss guy gets. Just a fine, or jail time, or perhaps even caning. Then there will be a "discussion" between the swiss and SG government, and perhaps the rich farts in SG who have huge swiss bank accounts will have their accounts frozen.
Actually the real issue is how they managed to get into the depot so easily and paint the train. Some people from smrt, lta and mha really have some answering to do.

If it's the work of an Sporn, he would have been caned. Your question would be answered by the sentence dished out by the Kangaroo Court.

What happened to the AMK bus depot 6 double-deckers got burned (or blown) up case?

 

[kingrant]

The people who shld be caned are those responsible for the security of SMRT, LTA and MHA, not this guy.

After all, in 2002 the govt did talk much about being bohemian, creating more buzz, and having a bit more chaos because things were too orderly and stiff until we can't think and become more creative. The best thing this chap has done for Singapore is to show Sinkies how they can be more creative, have more buzz, and take a small step towards producing more Nobel prize winners.

Now looks like the govt will do what it has always done best - caned people who show some maverick, who has beaten their system..another chicken who has to be killed to scare the monkeys, and then ask why S'pore cannot produce people who think outa box. Seems only Old Man qualifies - the box is still waiting for him.

So disappointing the number of clearly Western-educated dumbfucks who think breakingthe law, cutting fences, destroying property and painting graffiti is "creative". It is destructive.

This guy should be punished by the full force of the law and no less

Just because he is white doesn't entitle him to better treatment that the Pinkertons here want

Our society is doomed. I look at the Allgreen commercial and they used Caucasians for their property. The commercials for the Orchard Road malls are the same.

Which self-respecting local would patronise these places. Unfortunately there are many dumbfucks who think white man is king.

Our country is doomed

 

[kingrant]

Ya, he shld be hanged without going to trial. It is so obvious he has been destructive.

There are so many monkeys in Singapore that we need to find more chickens to kill.

At the moment, nothing.
Or at least nothing that has been reported anyway.

As for the people in charge of security and in charge of the transport system, the expected outcome would be to call it an honest mistake and move on.

Usual rule. Do the crime do the time. Maybe the stint in jail and a few strokes of the crane will cure his stupidity.
