Indian-origin Singaporean sentenced to 3.5 years in jail, 9 strokes of cane for vandalising police post

India Today  

An Indian-origin Singaporean was sentenced to imprisonment for 3.5 years and nine strokes of cane for setting a fire and causing 16 explosions outside a police post in Singapore in March last year. Deputy Public Prosecutor Marcus Foo said Sivaprakash had developed an interest in social affairs in 2009 and wanted to give "expression" to these negative sentiments. Sivaprakash then decided to target the police post as it was near a Mass Rapid Train station and felt his actions could "easily gain" the attention of passers-by. DPP Foo said Sivaprakash's plan included smashing police cars, giving a speech when a crowd formed and airing his grievances in court after his arrest.
