Man probed for 'SG 59 PORN' act of mischief

A 23-year-old man is being investigated by the police after he allegedly damaged floral decorations which were put up to mark Singapore’s National Day celebrations.

On Aug 6, at about 10.45am, the police received a report saying the floral decorations along the open area of Block 404 Pandan Gardens had been damaged and rearranged to form a distasteful word.

Images of the defaced floral decoration were uploaded to the Friends of Ayer Rajah Facebook page on Aug 6. The post highlighted the incident and stated that a police report had been made.

In the post, Friends of Ayer Rajah also said: “The hard work and effort put in by the Pandan Gardens Residents’ Network and residents have been marred by this distasteful act.”

Photos from the post show that the abbreviation for the Pandan Gardens Residents’ Network (PGRN) had been altered to form the word PORN.

In a statement issued on Aug 10, the police said they identified the suspect on Aug 7. Investigations, which are ongoing, revealed that he had allegedly defaced the floral decorations and also filmed and featured it in a TikTok video.
