[For the record]
Penang police are investigating a video showing 18 nudists, including Malaysians and four people from Singapore, taking part in nude events at a beach in Teluk Kampi, Penang National Park.
In Singapore, people have also been caught for being naked in public.
In an interview in 2010, Adam Road Medical Centre consultant psychiatrist Ken Ung said exhibitionists get a sexual thrill from the look of shock and horror on their victims' faces. Or, he added, they can be exposing themselves just to attract attention.
Those found guilty of appearing nude in public, or in a private location, but visible to those outside, face a fine of up to $2,000 and up to three months in jail.
Here are some cases of public nudity in Singapore:
