Netizens concerned that man vandalised surroundings and started fire

Singapore – There has been concern among netizens over what could have caused a man to vandalise the surroundings in Towner Road and start a fire in front of the Kallang Neighbourhood Police Post. On Friday night (March 13), the police arrested a man who allegedly wrote "ISIS" and abusive words on the walls and started a fire in the vicinity of the police post. "Preliminary investigations indicated that he acted alone and it was not terrorism-related, but the act of a disgruntled person unhappy with perceived social inequality," said the police. In a video on All Singapore Stuff, the man can be heard shouting expletives about the Government and country. https://www.facebook.com/allsgstuff/videos/610619902829621/ Although many from the online community were outraged at the man’s actions, there were those who felt an underlying issue led to the incident.
