Naked,'drunk' Finn sentenced to jail in Singapore

SINGAPORE: -- A 35-year-old Finnish tourist has been sentenced to four weeks in jail after acting violently against policemen in Singapore, as he was reported to be naked and looking drunk in a hotel lobby, writes Straits Times.

The sentence is still “light” as the offence he was accused of – causing hurt to a public servant in the discharge of his duty – could have led to several years in prison, in addition to fines.

The Finn was spotted in the lobby of Fragrance Hotel in Selegie Road in March this year. When two police officers arrived, they found him lying in a back alley nearby in just his underwear.

How on earth can people behaved like that? On the other hand, "In Vino Veritas"

Technically, he was not naked...just wearing underwear...

If you must over indulge in spirits and take your clothes off...try not to do so in a Muslim country...they do have a low tolerance level for such behavior...

Peltomaki also offered to pay compensation of $1,000 to the Police Compensation Fund.

Wonder where he got that idea?

Singapore is a multi religious country, Muslim only around 1/4 of our population
