SINGAPORE - A skimpily dressed woman performed a sex act at a Housing Board void deck in Boon Lay, in response to a challenge from viewers of her TikTok live streaming. Her husband sat beside her and acted as a lookout to ensure no one would interrupt. On Feb 20, Adrian Ching Kah Siang, 36, and his Vietnamese wife Nguyen Thi Ngoc Lan, 31, were each jailed for three weeks. Lan admitted to one charge of doing an obscene act. Ching, a Singaporean, admitted to abetting the act. One similar charge each was taken into consideration for their sentencing. District Judge Jasvender Kaur said that Lan’s act was highly offensive, and she was satisfied that the threshold for jail was crossed. Those who commit any obscene act in a public place can be jailed for up to three months, fined, or both. Ching asked for a gag order to be imposed on the couple’s identities so as to not cause further emotional damage to his mother. “It also protects my wife’s dignity,” he said. The judge said no.
