This disturbing trend, which is ruining public property in the emirate, has also hurt the sentiments of many people with highly abusive and vulgar messages visible almost everywhere in both English and Arabic.
Surprisingly, some of the grafitti is aimed against the police and the municipality, while most of it victimises individuals, especially young women.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Mohammed Muftah who lives near the Clock Tower, said he is very upset with the vulgar graffitti on his building. Such uncivil conduct can only be displayed by miscreants who are social misfits and obviously do not belong to decent families, he added.
Mohammed Hilmi, another Sharjah resident, stressed that the only way to counter this trend is for the authorities concerned to impose some tough regulations and take stiff action against anyone guilty of defacing public property.
Ameen Hullami, a school teacher, said his school walls are plastered with abusive words and indecent drawings. He said, those who indulge in this perverse activity are usually in the 14 to 25-year age group and suffer from strong suppressed feelings and resentment against society at large. Educational institutions, he added, should tackle this phenomena sensitively by educating their young students about why they need to respect public property and public sentiments.
