I'm back here posting another blog again, which I had just took notice this morning. This time is a group of 2 people tried to film themselves vandalising trains in Asia, including Singapore. The duo are named Utah and Ether (not their real name). Recently, I've found them uploading of how they vandalised Hong Kong MTR Trains, which was later reported by South China Morning Post.
Then, I went to read the news about it and happened to see their site. Then, I start to take notice that they even film Singapore too.

The duo vandalised trains all over Asia and they had never get caught since they fled off the vandalised trains. They escaped from their hometown in the United States of America since 2011 in the midst of serving their probation. They went to Asia and continue to vandalise trains.
Even in Singapore, the unsolved 2011 train vandalism case has also came to light. The affected trainset was confirmed to be C751B 311/312, named as 'Jet-Setters'. They vandalised car 3311 and they cut the fence of the Bishan Depot to gain access to the depot.
Here's a screen grab from the video the duo vandalised the Singapore MRT Trains, and the trainset identified as "3311" (if you could brighten your screen).

Vandalising trains are bad! This is because they will make you ended up in prison serving your sentence and worst, you would get both fines and caning. So, please do not vandalise anything at all. In Singapore, there are 4 cases being reported of train vandalism between 2010 - 2014. Vandalism is also a serious case as it cause damages to the property.
I hope that someone could report to the authorities of the duo vandalising trains. Cyrreltly, Utah's whereabouts is still unknown.
