A retiree has been jailed for setting fire to cardboard cat houses placed at void decks in Singapore. The man reportedly felt his feedback to his Member of Parliament regarding the structures went unaddressed and no visible action was taken. Frustrated with the lack of response, he resorted to arson, causing damage to the cat houses. The court heard he believed burning the houses would draw attention to his concerns. His actions have been deemed criminal and he has received a jail sentence as a result. The case highlights potential issues with constituent feedback mechanisms and animal welfare concerns within the community. This incident raises questions about how authorities respond to residents' concerns and the appropriate channels for addressing grievances.
