Singapore, known for its stringent regulations on public behaviour and cleanliness, witnessed a recent incident along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) towards the Woodlands checkpoint.
A man was caught in the act of public urination.
Releasing before the jam at customs?
Singapore is widely regarded as one of the cleanest cities in the world, and this reputation stems from the country’s unwavering commitment to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
Netizens pointed out that the man could be in a rush to cross the checkpoint to Malaysia and had to quickly release before facing the jam.
The Offense of Public Urination
Public urination is considered a punishable offense in Singapore. Under the Environmental Public Health Act, Section 35, anyone caught urinating in public can be fined up to SGD 1,000 for the first offense. Repeat offenders can face higher fines, with the maximum penalty reaching SGD 5,000.
In some cases, community service may be imposed as an alternative to paying fines.
