JOHOR BARU: The recalcitrant Singaporeans are back at it despite sufficient toilets and signboards directing them to the amenities at the Sultan Iskandar Building here.
Two Singaporeans were arrested on Tuesday between 12.12am and 3.56am, after they were caught by auxiliary policemen stationed at the Sultan Iskandar Building, relieving themselves in public areas.
The two men, aged 48 and 68, who are not related, committed the offence in separate incidents. Both tested negative for drugs and were arrested to facilitate investigations under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 (Revised 1987), for behaving in an insulting manner and are liable to a RM100 fine.
One of them is also being investigated under Section 6(3) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for residing in Malaysia without a valid pass.
The Sultan Iskandar Building houses the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex.
Of late, there have been several cases of Singaporeans caught urinating in public areas.
The first case involved a woman who squatted between two Immigration counters, which were under construction, while the one that made headlines in the country and in Singapore was of a 68-yecaught urinating at the ablution area less than five metres from the surau.
