A 17-YEAR-OLD vandal caught spray-painting graffiti on a canal wall is now a mural artist, painting the walls of a home for the intellectually disabled to atone for his offence.
The teenager spent nine months in the Singapore Boys’ Hostel. After that, he was put on a year’s probation, where several restrictions like curfews are imposed and 150 hours of community service. As part of this service, he painted murals at the Metta Home to brighten up the surroundings.
