[Extremist]

JUST IN: The Cenotaph located within the Esplanade Park at Connaught Drive had been vandalised.

The Cenotaph is a war memorial that was built in memory of men in Singapore who gave their lives in World War I and World War II.

Bet that won't happen to the LKY mausoleum, which will be under guard 24/7 every day of the year.

Must be the work of some young idiots..

Stupid idiots.. Want to spray democracy then its better to instead do it at the PAP HQ..

 

[ray_of_hope]

This is what happens when they prefer a "mischief", instead of "vandalism", charge for that sticker lady. Now others think that they can do the same and, if caught, they merely get a slap on the wrist.

 

[kongsimi]

What is the relevance of the message with regards to the memorial?

Lky worked for kempetai would be a better message.

See lah this is what happens when Lau Beng like you gave the wrong kinds of democratic ideas to young punks, like in this forum.

These young punks Bo Tua Bo sway go vandalised on ppl whose deeds are indeed heroic and must be respected.

Instead of vandalising and spitting on the correct culprit, these young punks now go on rampage on the wrong target!

Makes Ah loong more ball shrink and tighten his grip!

I say it MUST BE done by SINKIE!

This is f**king senseless. Those who fought and died in the second world war should be remembered as heroes otherwise we would all be speaking Japanese now.

The vandals lost their way. They were supposed to go to the Istana but ended up in the War Memorial. Maybe the vandals are not locals...maybe Malaysians!!

These STOMPERS why always stomp the wrong things? Got the culprit but dunno how to take picture of the face and stomp.

STOMPer deepsecret's fiancé had chased after a man in a hoodie who was vandalising the Cenotaph at Esplanade Park on Apr 23. A Police spokesperson said that efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice will not be spared.

The Cenotaph is a war memorial that was built in memory of men in Singapore who gave their lives in World War I and World War II.

Said the STOMPer:

"On 23 April 2013 at about 2315hrs, my fiancé and I witnessed a man vandalizing this monument.

"He was with his headphones, in a dark blue hoodie, dark jeans and shoes along with a brown/black backpack.

"My fiancé chased after him. He then mentioned somehow in fear, "Oh its revolution".

"I uploaded this pic into my facebook right after."

STOMPer Weatherboat alerted the Police after noticing that the same Cenotaph at Connaught Drive had been vandalised.

Weatherboat said:

"I have made a police report.

"Hopefully, the culprits are caught."

Joey Lim also captured a photo of the vandalism being removed from the memorial and posted a photo on her Facebook page.

In an email to STOMP, a Police spokesperson said:

"In response to media queries, Police confirm that a call was received on 24 April 2013 at about 7.17am that a war memorial monument (Cenotaph) at the Esplanade Park had been sprayed with graffiti.

"Investigations are ongoing.

"Commander of Central Police Division, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Police Daniel Tan said:

"'Spraying and defacing a war memorial is a totally disrespectful and despicable act. Police will spare no resources to bring the perpetrators to justice.'"

There will be some museum/memorial hall/statue to commemorate that fiend.

I agree.. Even though I'm against NS, but this is really a despicable act by idiots who don't appreciate what these World War 2 soldiers did for S'pore..

I salute these Warriors who leave their native countries and their families to fight and die for this country..

Stupid bastards don't even know the true meaning of democracy.. If they really want to do it, then do it on the walls of the PAP HQ or better still outside the Parliament house.. Its just minutes walk from the nearby Cenotaph
