A COUPLE who caused a stir by strolling down naked along Lorong Mambong earlier this year were charged in court on Thursday.
Jan Philip, 21, a Swedish student on exchange programme, and Eng Kai Er, 24, a university student in Sweden, are accused of appearing nude in public at Holland Village at about 11pm on Jan 24.
Both were clad in black suits when they appeared before District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan.
Their lawyer, Mr William Chan, asked for an adjournment to write in to the Attorney-General's Chambers.
If convicted, both may be fined up to $2,000 and/or jailed for up to three months.
As Philip is a foreigner, he was offered bail of $5,000 but Eng, a Singaporean, need not post bail. Philip's passport was impounded.
They will be back in court on April 30.
[Why so shy? Earlier can bare all, now can't even bear to show face.]
