SINGAPORE – A man who was caught taking upskirt photos of an MRT commuter was later found to have more than 100 such images in his possession.

Lai Zi Yang, who registered his marriage in May, was on June 9 sentenced to 28 days’ jail after pleading guilty to one charge of taking voyeuristic images without consent. Another similar charge was taken into consideration during his sentencing.

The incident happened on Nov 1, 2024, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Teng Yin Hang.


Lai, 26, was travelling from Jalan Besar to meet his friend for dinner when he exited the train at Tampines MRT station.

While going up on an escalator at the station, he spotted a woman dressed in a skirt in front of him.

Lai was often tempted to take upskirt photos whenever he saw women dressed in short skirts in close proximity to him.


The court heard that while riding the escalator, he placed his phone on his knees with its camera lens facing upwards, aiming the lens at the bottom of the victim’s skirt, and snapped a total of 14 upskirt photos.

Another commuter saw what Lai was doing and confronted him before alerting the victim, who decided to make a police report.

Investigations later revealed that he had taken upskirt photos of at least 10 other women.


More than 100 such images were later found in his possession.

Why can't he take photos of his wife's CB

 

[VanDick]

Dude's wife must be some super ugly fat bitch.

Like I always say, go ahead and look, but just don't take any photos. They can fault you for looking or staring normally. I was caught many times looking at wide leg colour tv. They just gave me a glare of disgust but can't do anything about it.

Perhaps he did, only he knows.

No hunting involved. Too easy. The thrill is in the hunt.

 

[syed putra]

Nope. I think she is super sexy. The hunt is just to build up the excitement to come once he gets home. And the wife will forgive him as she fully satisfied with his prowess. Unless of course this incident caused too much embarrassment to her.

I have, on a few occasions, caught a glimpse of exposed undies while women in mini-skirts were dining or going up the escalator. It is only a crime if we snap a photo of what we saw.

There us no law that forbid anyone taking photos in s public place. This is not like peeping a girl in a toilet. This girl is fully dressed and mingling among the crowd. It is only if you intentionally touch her then it becomes a issue.

You are wrong as usual. Taking photos of someone’s private region (panties), such as upskirt photos in public spaces, is a blatant violation of personal privacy and dignity. This act is not only unlawful, but also leads to a culture of harassment and disrespect towards individuals. It is considered voyeurism.

You could have saved Lai Zi Yang 28 days in prison and a criminal record for life by informing him earlier. LOL!

If newly married Zi Yang gets his thrills from taking upskirt photos, he probably tied the knot with a Dinobu.
