A man was caught on camera urinating outside a private property in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The incident was recorded by a CCTV camera installed outside a residence in the Siglap area, near Upper East Coast Road, at 12:36 AM, according to Stomp.
“The video is from my boss and shows the guy peeing outside my boss’s house,” a reader told the portal.
“As it happened at midnight, we are not sure whether this has happened before. Even if it has happened before, I think my boss might not have been aware. He only just recently changed the CCTV camera setting to detect motion, which was how he was notified of the incident.
“We believe that urinating in public is illegal in Singapore. If I’m not wrong, my boss has already filed a police report online yesterday.”
The footage shows a man and a woman exiting a parked car outside the property.
The man then proceeds to urinate over a drain by the roadside while his female companion waits nearby.
Afterwards, he checks that his car is locked before walking away with the woman.
It is unclear whether they are residents of the area.
The owner of the CCTV footage has reported the incident to the police, as public urination is illegal in Singapore under the Environmental Public Health Act.
The penalty for first-time offenders is a fine of up to S$1,000, while second and third-time offenders may face fines of up to S$2,000 and S$5,000 respectively.
