Someone seems to have too much time on their hands. And superglue too.
What goes on in Singapore these days?

Yikes.
Is this a case of mass pranking? Or jealousy that they can’t afford their own motorcycle? Those questions are left unanswered.
Still At Large
Apparently, this superglue boy, or boi as they call him, is still at large within Punggol.
Most of the damaged motorcycles were found at Punggol MSCP (Multi Storey Car Park). Superglue was found to be injected into the ignition key-holes of the motorbikes.
According to the post, the police are already investigating this case. Residents are also urged to call the police if they see any suspicious figures loitering around motorbikes at Punggol MSCP.
Vandalism
Many have commented that this would be under the act of vandalism.
Under the act of vandalism, one of the interpretations is “stealing, destroying or damaging any public property”. So it is possible that whoever it is, will be dealt under this act.

If found guilty, they could be fined at least $1,000 or jailed for 6 months. In some extreme cases, caning is also a punishment.
So good luck to whoever that person is.
Weird Laws in Singapore
Vandalism is actually a pretty normal offence in Singapore. But here are some other weird laws you might not know exist.
1. Walking around naked at home
I learnt this quite recently during law class in school, but I’m still shocked that this exists. The weather in Singapore doesn’t help either.
Even if it’s extremely hot and you want to walk around naked in the comfort of your own home, you’re better off not doing it.

If someone catches a glimpse of you, you could be punished for public indecency.
Even if you’re at home.
Big yikes.
2. Suicide
Attempting suicide in Singapore is actually illegal.
According to section 309 of the penal code, it’s punishable for a year’s worth in jail or a fine. However, this is rarely enforced in reality so as to not aggravate the emotional well-being of someone who is suicidal.

3. Using unsecured Wi-fi hotspots
This is actually a thing. If you want to connect to your neighbour’s free Wi-fi at home because it’s faster than yours, don’t do it.
This constitutes as hacking and is a chargeable offence. It is under the Computer Misuse Act.
Though it may sound really low-key, it carries three years in jail and a fine.
4. Uploading or downloading music
Spotify and Apple Music are expensive, yes. But downloading music from the internet is illegal if you did not know already. It would be under copyright infringement since the artist’s original work is shared illegally.
Most of us are broke fans, but the last thing you should be doing is downloading music illegally from Google and Youtube. (Although I know that most of us do.)

In conclusion, if you’re going to do something, make sure you rethink your decisions before actually doing it.
After all, I don’t think you would want to be caught for doing something illegal or against the law and spending a few years in jail.
