He headed to Block 403A, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh with his wife on Aug 27, 2025.<\/p>\n
They entered the lifts and began pasting posters for his company on the walls.<\/p>\n
At the time, the lifts were lined with acrylic boards to protect the lifts while residents shifted in.<\/p>\n
Lee and his wife removed the posters of their competitors before putting up their own in five lifts.<\/p>\n
After affixing their posters, Lee used a penknife to cut them. This was to make it difficult for his competitors to remove his posters, as they would come off in bits and pieces.<\/p>\n
His actions also left cuts on the acrylic boards.<\/p>\n
The couple’s actions were caught on CCTV.<\/p>\n
Lee also put up posters and cut them on the walls of life lobbies and riser doors in that area.<\/p>\n
Between August and September 2025, residents of Blocks 403A and 403B in Lorong 1 Toa Payoh lodged 13 police reports about the posters and cuts.<\/p>\n
Lee was arrested on Jan 26, 2026. His wife was given a conditional warning for her involvement.<\/p>\n
Deputy Public Prosecutor Mark Chia sought a short jail term and read out a long list of Lee’s past convictions numbering more than 10.<\/p>\n
The convictions dated from the 1970s to the 2000s and included driving with an expired licence, using abusive language, cheating and voluntarily causing hurt.<\/p>\n
Lee’s lawyer, Mr Low Cheong Yeow, asked the court to consider five days’ jail, saying his client was in bad health.<\/p>\n
The penalty for mischief is a maximum of two years’ jail, a fine, or both.<\/p>\n
Lee had been charged along with two other men, Joo Tat Chong and Kevin Lee Wei Qiang. Their cases are pending.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
