Guan Zhen Tan

An e-scooter rider was spotted in Punggol wearing nothing but a pair of what appeared to be a thong and slippers. To protect a bit of his modesty, he was also carrying a backpack while riding on his PMD. Photos of the rider were submitted to Roads.sg by a person with the surname Wang. Roads.sg then reposted the photos with the following caption on their Facebook page: Wrong in so many ways, going swimming ah? "I was in good spirits going to work and then I saw this. Totally spoiled my day. " :) - Wang Spotted along Punggol Way and Punggol Field Junction. class='fb-post' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/roadssg/posts/3009773002388416'>

Appearing nude illegal

According to the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act, any person who appears nude in a public place, or in a private place, and is exposed to public view, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or both.

The act also defines a person appearing nude to include those "who is clad in such a manner as to offend against public decency or order".

In 2015, The Straits Times reported that a 35-year-old man, Loh Tzu Chye, was sentenced to six years of corrective training after he went on a six-month crime spree which included serial theft and wearing only a g-string in public, which exposed his buttocks.

But the bigger transgression would be riding his e-scooter on the footpath.
