This article was contributed by the STOMP Team.
A photograph of a bird's eye view of Singapore from the rooftop of Swissotel was uploaded online. The tourist who took the photo said he had entered the rooftop access illegally.
The photo also shows the feet of a man, who is apparently the photographer, at the edge of the rooftop.
How did the man manage to make his way to the rooftop, and why is he risking his life just to take a photo?
According to the exif data of the image, it was created on January 13, 2013, at 05:39:12+04:00 hours (about 9.39am Singapore time). It was taken by a Canon EOS 40D.
In a blog post about Singapore on April 24, a Russian user, Raskalov, had uploaded the photo with the description:
"View down from the roof of one of the tallest buildings in Singapore. Interesting fact is that I entered the roof illegally and I didn't even think of any consequences, however I wasn't caught.
"I spent 4 days in Singapore, two of them just walking around the city because on the second day I read about the strictness of Singapore laws. As it turned out you can easily spend up to 1 year in prison for breaking a lock and additionally you can be beaten with sticks."
The photographer had also uploaded photos of other Singapore attractions taken from very high places onto the blog entry.
