Naked in Singapore
My avid fans (both of you) will recall that a few months ago I mentioned a pair of nudists who strolled through the expat enclave of Holland Village. Well, despite their lack of identifying clothing they have been fingered and taken to court (fully dressed). A Swedish guy and Singaporean girl, they were charged with the offense of appearing nude in a public place, for which the penalty is a fine of up to $2,000 and jail time up to 3 months. The Singapore Straits Times newspaper calls them “streakers,” but unlike Americans of that description, who dash naked across crowded public venues, their nude excursion was a leisurely saunter.
