SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singapore national serviceman who sashayed into a lift early one morning wearing only a pink bikini has been handed a day's jail and a S$11,000 ($7,529) fine by a court in the city-state, a newspaper said on Tuesday.
Tan Wen Zhong, 21, admitted to five charges, including "outraging the modesty" of the woman who shared the lift with him and "fraudulent possession of women's underwear," Singapore's Straits Times reported.
The paper said a subsequent police search of his apartment turned up 46 pieces of women's underwear and bikinis as well as four obscene films.
Tan, who was completing Singapore's mandatory national service when he committed the offence in April, was also accused of grabbing a 23-year-old woman's buttocks a year ago and of shoplifting a pair of sunglasses two years ago.
In mitigation, Tan's lawyer said his client had been badly affected by his parents' divorce during his formative years.

Whatta country!
never mind.
Considering his tastes in underwear, that might be a positive sign.

Uh-huh. But he seemed to have been enjoying the scars the folks inflicted on him until he managed to get himself arrested.
Listen to him....... It could get ugly, not much uglier, but it could......
This might be the best criminal charge I've ever heard of.

"So, what are you in for?"
Please, please newgeezer, listen to him! He makes a lot of sense. For everyone's sake, DON'T DO IT!
Note to self.....never,*ever* visit Singapore.
(just kidding)
WTF?
No... seriously... WTF??? This is a crime? I could see if they were stolen, but this boggles the mind.
In Southeast Asia — particularily in Thailand, there is a WIDESPREAD phenomenon that is truly baffling...
They have a “species” of individuals called “ladyboys” - who appear 100% as lovely, well dressed, well mannered, delicate featured,flirtatiously sexy and very feminine ladies..
But - they’re not....they have all the lovely female mannerisms and physical attributes — except one.
To heterosexuals - it is a vital “shortcoming”
I’ve had a few business colleagues - even after being warned before travel into the area - discover to their extreme embarrassment that they have indeed invited a “ladyboy” to their hotel room......
Business partners, who happened to be Thai nationals - explained that these “ladyboys” were the primary attraction responsible for a MASSIVE tourist sex trade which draws European, North & South America, African and Asian homosexuals to Thailand...
I wonder if we could charge Hillary with this ?
