Singapore: A 14-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to the fire at Kampung Siglap Mosque in Marine Parade which caused $3.27m worth of damage.

Appearing in court on Wednesday morning, the youth pleaded guilty to the charge of mischief by using fire and trespassing into the grounds of an old folks' home, Apex Harmony Lodge in Pasir Ris.

At the hearing the judge called for a pre-sentence probation report on the boy to be submitted on 9th February.

A third charge of an EZ-link card believed to've been stolen from another boy was taken into consideration.

The teenager had allegedly set alight two books in the Siglap Mosque on October 6 last year, leading to the fire.

Luckily it happened last year in Oct and not this week. Worse if the 14 yr old was a Christian, sure JIALAT! All hell would break loose in both Singapore and Malaysia.
