Man caught watching porn film on bus
If this man's actions speak for anyone, it seems that people are now no longer obliged to confine themselves in a darkened room when watching porn.
According to evening daily Lianhe Wanbao, a reader of the Chinese paper called to complain that she spotted a man watching pornographic clips on board a bus.
Miss Liang, 23, boarded SMRT service 913 on 31 March at about 9.20am. The bus was travelling towards Admiralty.
As it was the morning rush hour, the bus was crowded and it took Miss Liang some time before she found a seat. It was not long after she took a seat that she saw the man in front of her watching porn videos.
The administrator told Lianhe Wanbao, "In the beginning, I thought that he was just texting or playing games on his mobile phone. It was only a while later when I saw the video clip on the phone's screen and realized he was watching porn in public.
"I never expected anyone to watch such videos in public and I was very stunned by what I saw."
Miss Liang also told Lianhe Wanbao that there were several students in school uniform on board the bus, and anyone could have seen what the man was watching.
"He was wearing a cap, but otherwise showed no shame or embarrassment with regards to what he was doing."
However, as Miss Liang was unsure if the man's actions were against the law, she did not report the matter to the authorities.
Miss Liang said that the man alighted several stops afterward.
In a reply to Lianhe Wanbao's queries, a police spokesman said that anyone found to be in possession of pornographic material can face a fine of up to $20,000. Those who distribute or screen such videos can face a fine of up to $40,000, a jail term of up to 6 months, or both.
Members of the public should alert the police when they come across such incidents. The police will investigate the complaints and appropriate action will be taken against violators.
