This rascal must have picked some left over cans from some where to do this mischief. Perhaps he<br />has been doing vandalism in others places and and your wall was the last to empty the cans ! ! <br /> <br />As for the meaning of '420' it also refers to Malaysian penal code? It is cheating a person with criminal intimidation. Why he wrote this number only he knows ! ! <br /><br />In Singapore any kind of graffiti on public or private property is considered as Vandalism and carries a mandatory three to eight strokes of a cane and a fine of up to SG$2,000 Singapore dollars ($1,437) or up to three years in jail. Some years back I remember Singapore sentenced a Swiss man Oliver Fricker, 32 to three strokes of a cane ( rotan) and five months in prison for spray-painting graffiti on a subway carriages. However in our country I have never heard of any one caught and punished for this type of crime although you can find graffiti on buildings / bridges / walls etc etc . <br /><br />Why do people do graffiti ? Google Search says: <br />Some people think it's cool or they are trying to impress other people. Some people do it to become more popular or to defy authority. Some people want to express their frustration, anger or revenge and don't know how else to do it. ( If I may add your nice clean and white painted wall is a real temptation for these irresponsible people, what more the area is sandwiched between your neighbors wall and gives good cover to these Manusia tak Tanggong Jawab ) <br />Arunzabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334940254586336180noreply@blogger.com
