Contractor, 75, jailed after sabotaging rivals' advertisements at new BTO estates
He tried to take down his competitors' posters while making his own harder to remove.
A 75-year-old businessman, Lee Kai Soon, was jailed for 10 days after intentionally damaging advertising materials at newly constructed Housing Development Board (HDB) estates. Formerly the owner of Tong Sheng Impex, a storage rack company, Lee repeatedly vandalised posters and spray-painted notice boards at Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh HDB blocks in an attempt to make his own advertisements more difficult to remove.
Despite being aware of an ongoing investigation, Lee continued his actions on multiple occasions, with his efforts captured on CCTV footage. He was arrested in January 2026 and later pleaded guilty to three charges of mischief, with prosecutors seeking a short jail term citing Lee's past criminal record.
