Are Singaporeans too publicly intimate? (Screencap from
STOMP)
A couple’s intimate public display of affection at a foam party
on New Year’s Eve 2010 has sparked a heated debate online.
Where’s the limit? What lines should not be crossed?
These are the questions being asked
after a man was caught on camera putting his hand
down a woman’s bikini bottom and kissing her neck
passionately. The picture was first uploaded on citizen journalism
site STOMP.
From the photo, it seems the blue bikini-clad woman is
oblivious to the people in attendance and allowed herself to be
touched in front of everyone at the party.
Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the man
looked to be of Eurasian heritage. It’s not clear where the party
was being held.
While some readers online said such indecent behaviour
should be made punishable, others said such incidents are
normal at foam parties and it was not something unusual.
In a similar incident at the 2009 Sentosa New Year’s
Eve countdown party, four men were caught on camera openly
molesting a bikini-clad woman.
