\u201cYou seem to be attention seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts,\u201d Goh told the 26-year-old social media star.<\/p>\n

The judge then told Wen that he was \u201cwrong\u201d to think his actions wouldn\u2019t have any consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be mindful that there are always consequences for one\u2019s actions,\u201d Goh said, per the outlet.<\/p>\n

Following his sentence, Wen told the judge that he \u201cwon\u2019t do it again\u201d and that he was \u201cgoing to stop getting into trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goh said the court needed to \u201csend a signal to like-minded individuals \u2026 that we will not condone any act that potentially undermines the reputation of Singapore as a safe country.\u201d<\/p>\n
