The Police are investigating a 23-year-old man for his alleged involvement in a case of mischief involving floral decorations for National Day celebrations.

On 6 August 2024 at about 10.45am, the Police received a report stating that the floral decorations for National Day celebrations, along the open area of Block 404 Pandan Gardens, were damaged and rearranged to form another word. This was apparently shown on a video posted on TikTok.

The Police have zero tolerance for such inconsiderate acts and will not hesitate to take firm actions against individuals who seek to damage public decorations or displays that symbolise our national spirit.
