Brilliant Angjaya, 23, an Indonesian, also used his phone to record the air stewardess' reaction to his indecent act.

On March 24, Angjaya was sentenced to three weeks' jail after pleading guilty to one count of sexual exposure.

In sentencing, District Judge Paul Quan said Angjaya's actions were "inexplicable" and "inexcusable".

The incident happened on board a Singapore Airlines flight from China to Singapore on Jan 23.

Further details about the flight and air stewardess cannot be revealed due to a gag order to protect the victim's identity.

The court heard that during the flight, Angjaya had an in-flight meal and two glasses of champagne before he went to sleep.

After he awoke, he went to the toilet to relieve himself. There, he suddenly thought of recording a video of himself showing his genitals to someone, and capturing the person's reaction.

At about 4.45am, he returned to his seat and placed his mobile phone on recording mode before unzipping his jeans and exposing his genitals.
