Someone has vandalised signboards explaining how to use exercise equipment at a park in Rasah Kemayan, Negeri Sembilan. However, the vandal only committed the act to correct the broken English used on the signboards.
The MainProp Seremban Facebook page shared images of the corrections made by the vandal.
They wrote, “We are looking for English teachers!”
Based on the images showcased, the vandal had used a marker pen to cancel out the instructions written in broken English and wrote a corrected version.
You can check out the signs below
One of the vandalised signs, titled Log Hop, originally read: “Standing on top of lower beam, stand for your body balance for few second or minute.” The vandal corrected the phrasing with a marker pen, changing it to: “Stand on top of the lower beam, balancing your body for a few seconds to a minute,” and added a note suggesting that the original writer “needs English lessons.”
Another sign, titled Vault Bar, originally read: “Standing side of the beam and push up the legs until top of the beam,” which was corrected to: “Stand beside the beam and push up your legs until above the beam.”
What netizens had to say
The vandalism has left many divided, with some believing that it’s important to ensure the copy is written correctly, while others pointed out that vandalism is just plain wrong.
“My English isn’t good either. If it’s for a job like this, I would ask someone qualified to check (the copy) first.”
“This is vandalism. Catch (the culprit) and lock them up.”
