THE MRT spray-painting case against Swiss national Oliver
Fricker has been postponed to Friday.
The 32-year-old business consultant arrived in the Subordinate
Courts on Thursday with his lawyer Derek Kang at about 4.40pm, and
was mobbed by more than 20 cameramen and film crew from various
news and wire agencies staking outside.
The case was originally fixed in the afternoon for him to take a
certain course.
After the prosecution and defence had seen the judge in chambers
for five minutes, they left the packed courtroom.
Fricker, who is out on $100,000 bail, faces two vandalism
charges and one of entering a protected place with Briton Dane
Alexander Lloyd, who is at large.
He is said to have cut the fence of the MRT Changi depot between
May 16 and 17; entered a protected place without a pass or permit;
and spray-painted two carriages of a train belonging to SMRT.
