- Ng Beng Heng was sentenced to 11 weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to a charge of appearing nude in public and a charge of committing mischief

Feeling an itch come on as he sat outside a shop that was closed for business, Ng Beng Heng pulled his shorts down in full public view to scratch his private parts.
The 42-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to 11 weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to a charge of appearing nude in public and a charge of committing mischief.
Two other similar charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.
The court heard that on the night of July 5 this year, Ng sat outside a closed massage shop at Block 11 Chai Chee Road when he committed the offence.
Investigations revealed that in the midst of scratching his crotch with his shorts removed, Ng realised that he had exposed himself to public view.
A passer-by saw Ng touching his private parts and called the police.
