No charges against Holland Village nude couple yet
Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, February 17
SINGAPORE: More than three weeks after a Caucasian man and a Singaporean woman were arrested for strolling around Holland Village totally nude, no charges had been pressed against them yet.
Police said investigations are still ongoing.The naked pair stunned drinkers and diners when they strolled hand—in—hand up and down Lorong Mambong at 11pm on January 24.
They were nabbed one hour later near North Buona Vista Road but were released on bail afterwards.
The incident sparked off a flurry of postings online and even became inspiration for a new Ikea advertisement.
Under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act, anyone who appears nude in a public place can be fined up to S$2,000 or jailed up to three months, or both.
Apparently Ikea has taken advantage of the hullabaloo over this incident by coming up with the following funny ad...
I for one am quite surprised that the police haven't charged them with something yet. I wonder why its taking them so long to come to a decision since the case seems to be pretty direct.
