Newly married man jailed for taking upskirt photos at Tampines MRT station

A man who was caught taking upskirt photos of an MRT commuter was later found to have more than 100 such images in his possession.

Lai Zi Yang, who registered his marriage in May, was on June 9 sentenced to 28 days' jail after pleading guilty to one charge of taking voyeuristic images without consent. Another similar charge was taken into consideration during his sentencing.

The incident happened on Nov 1, 2024, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Teng Yin Hang.

Lai, 26, was travelling from Jalan Besar to meet his friend for dinner when he exited the train at Tampines MRT station.

While going up on an escalator at the station, he spotted a woman dressed in a skirt in front of him.

Lai was often tempted to take upskirt photos whenever he saw women dressed in short skirts in close proximity to him.
