sphere Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Recently saw this video that mentioned one could be charged even if you are just shirtless (of course, we all knew nudity is not allowed in public places), didn't know about this until now, since we often see topless men jogging in the park (or at ECP, etc.). Â It was also mentioned (here), under section 27A of the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act (MOPONA), this is new to me, haha.

I think when public 'complained', then they would act on it, if not there is not enough place in the prison cells (too many 'arrests')?

Popular Post Strange Fruit Posted May 21 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21 (edited) Singaporeans are really hung up over what is considered ‘decency’ aren’t they? To a highly salacious degree - and the more taboos they create the more sexually tempting the prospect of exposure becomes. A look at this forum will tell you how many guys find some form of public exposure sexy, particularly if it is perceived as unintentional.  I think the laws exist to cover all possible scenarios, because you never know what individuals are capable of; there are laws against jaywalking, PMD-riding on pavements, and swearing in public, but lots of people do it anyway with no consequences. As long as you don’t cause major accidents with your jaywalking or swearing (or topless running for that matter - hot tip: the guys most likely to cause accidents while running tooless seem to mostly do so on the entirely pedestrianised Marina Bay park loop, far from fast-moving vehicular traffic but within view of as many strollers as possible) I don’t think the law will come for you.  As for nudity, like being openly gay, I’m sure attitudes have changed a fair bit. Once the old aunties (and it is always the old aunties with their puckered-up sour-kana face) who are obsessed with ‘public decency’ die out eventually I doubt our current youngsters will grow up with such hang-ups. At most it will be viewed as something to mock. Who knows, maybe by 2040 being in the altogether on Tanjong or Siloso Beach might be par for the course. For now, we have the eastern end of ECP. You young’uns, with your firm, slick, porpoise-like bodies, come join us and improve the scenery, okay? make the regulars there happy. 🙂 Edited May 21 by Strange Fruit abcwater, neuwave, grandcharm and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many (including uncle, me) could have been arrested for running topless (with jiggling tummy fats!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefight Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Public nuisance covers a wide variety of situations so not to worry so much about being topless. Is more about what are you doing while being topless. Obviously topless bodies get attention but if you have a right reason to be topless then nobody will find you to be a nuisance. cutejack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K._ Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 It’s only called a public nuisance when the view is rough on the eyes. But if it’s a hot, fit hunk, it’s free eye candy and visual therapy for everyone— even the old aunties 😆长得帅真好，长得丑性骚扰 cutejack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluerunner Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 In Singapore, there are cases where it's unclear or what I called grey zone scenario. Do all you want, just got invite complains. Must be sensitive to your surrounding and be alert of who are around you. If you choose to parade like a peaCOCK, oblivious to the situation around you, you are inviting trouble and inconvenience, not to yourself but also others to share the same passion. abcwater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
