"hmm today I shall damage vehicles where there are cameras all around" 
SINGAPORE - A man who allegedly deflated the tyres of five cars at two multi-storey carparks in Woodlands was charged on Nov 21 with being a public nuisance.
Benjamin Chia Yit Loong, 23, purportedly committed the offences between 10am and noon on Nov 19 at the multi-storey carparks at Block 517A and Block 519A Woodlands Drive 14. He also allegedly placed fliers on the windscreens of the five vehicles.
Charge sheets state these acts caused annoyance to the public.
Police said on Nov 20 that a car owner alerted them when she found the tyres of her vehicle deflated at one of the carparks.
Chia was arrested within eight hours. Preliminary investigations showed that at least four other vehicles nearby were similarly damaged.
According to a photo of the flier that was left on the vehicles, the acts were purportedly carried out in the name of a climate activist group that is against the use of sport utility vehicles. This is believed to be the first case in Singapore linked to the group.
Chia has been remanded at Woodlands Division and attended court proceedings through video-link on Nov 21. The bespectacled and bearded man was clad in a blue T-shirt and handcuffed.
A police prosecutor requested that the case be adjourned for investigations, and added that Chia would likely face more charges.
His lawyer Anil Sandhu said Chia is a student at NUS and it was now the exam period. Mr Sandhu asked for the next mention of the case to be after his client's exams. The lawyer added that Chia's parents were in court and would bail him out.
Chia asked if he could say something about the adjournment period, to which District Judge Lorraine Ho said he could speak to his lawyer. Judge Ho set his bail at $5,000, and his case will be heard again on Dec 9.
An NUS spokeswoman told The Straits Times on Nov 21 that it takes a serious view of student misconduct, including criminal offences committed off campus. The university will take the necessary disciplinary action following court proceedings, she added.
If convicted, Chia can be jailed for up to three months, fined up to $2,000, or both.

They targeted g*mers.
G*mers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such g*mer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? G*mers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, r*pe apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
G*mers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
