A 57-year-old Singaporean man @A Singaporean was sentenced to 11 weeks' jail for taking upskirt videos of several women.

He was shopping with his wife when he committed the acts.

Pua Thiam Guan pleaded guilty to four counts of voyeurism on Jun. 9, The Straits Times reported.

In court documents seen by Mothership, Pua was out shopping with his wife at VivoCity shopping mall on Feb. 20, 2024, around 5:13pm.

As he walked into a Watsons outlet, he activated the video recording function of his phone and approached an unknown lady dressed in a pair of shorts.

With the camera lens angled upwards towards the victim's buttocks, he took an image of her without her consent.

Pua admitted during police investigations later that he took the recording, which included her buttocks and face, for his own sexual gratification.

After leaving the Watsons outlet, Pua proceeded to Golden Village, where the lobby was packed with moviegoers.

While waiting at the lobby, he "felt an urge" to take more videos of women wearing short skirts.

There, he took upskirt videos of three more victims.

One of the victims caught Pua in the act and confronted him, snatching his handphone.

The victim's friend then apprehended him until police arrived.

Pua was later arrested at 8:30pm that day.

After his arrest, Pua's handphone was seized.

Upon inspection, his phone not only contained recordings of the victims from that day, but images of other women that had been taken on seven separate occasions from January and February 2022.

The handphone also contained 165 video files that Pua downloaded, which the Infocomm Media Development Authority certified to be obscene.

Those found guilty of voyeurism can be jailed for up to two years, fined, caned, or receive any combination of such punishments.

only 11 months out of a max 2-year jail sentence. discounted heavily at more than 50%. and a max 2-year jail term is too light to deter woild be upskirters. c’mon sg. be tough.

I just don't understand what is the thrill of taking upskirt photos. I was taking the escalator up at Raffles Place MRT on Thursday and spotted this chiobu wearing pink shorts in front of me. I can see that she's wearing black undies and her smooth and white butt cheek was in my line of sight for a good 7-8 secs. I just watch for free. There's no need to capture it on film or video.

An ACS boy would whipped out his phone and take a picture

If a woman wear very revealing shorts all she wants is attention…so I see nothing wrong in capturing the attention to view later in an aeroplane.

ACS boys are not gangsters, ACS boys are not perverts. The interesting point of gossip is, after Mr Pua is released from prision, is he going to have make-up SEX? With who (@True Believer ?)??
