SINGAPORE - She made headlines last June following her arrest for allegedly spraying the words "My Grandfather Road" on sections of Maxwell Road and Robinson Road.

The artist, dubbed The Sticker Lady and whose real name is Samantha Lo, also allegedly pasted circular stickers at public places. The stickers bore captions such as "Press once can already" and "Press until shiok".

The incidents were discovered by the Land Transport Authority between May 17 and 21 last year.

Lo, 26, who has been out on bail pending further investigations, is due to face charges today for the alleged offences.

Lo and her alleged male accomplice Anthony Chong face several counts of mischief which carry a much lesser penalty if convicted. If convicted, they will face a fine or up to two years' jail term or both. A conviction for vandalism carries a longer jail term and caning.

A police statement yesterday said that she is due to appear in the Subordinate Courts with a 30-year-old man.

The identity of the man was established following Lo's arrest at her home on June 3 last year. He was arrested at Changi Airport on June 11, said police.

Lo's arrest sparked mixed reactions from members of the public, as well as an online petition.

The petition, which went viral, called for the alleged offences to be categorised as public nuisance, and for such works to be recognised as art.

If convicted, both Lo and the man may be fined or jailed for up to two years, or both.
