The Police will be charging a 43-year-old Chinese Australian woman for her suspected involvement in a case of vandalism. 

On 25 December 2025 at about 9.15am, the Police received a call for assistance regarding a case of vandalism at Praisehaven - The Salvation Army, located at 500 Upper Bukit Timah Road. Upon the Police's arrival, offensive words written with red spray paint were found scribbled on the premises and on properties belonging to Praisehaven - The Salvation Army, including the building's walls and three vans. A can of red spray paint was found at the premises and seized as a case exhibit.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of Police cameras, officers from Jurong Police Division established the identity of the woman and arrested her within five hours.

The woman will be charged in court on 27 December 2025 with the offence of Vandalism under Section 3 of the Vandalism Act 1966. The offence of vandalism carries a fine not exceeding $2,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years. While the Act provides for caning of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes upon conviction, women are not liable for caning under the law. 

The Police take a very serious view of such acts, and offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.
