But Bedok residents got more than an eyeful to look at after a woman took a stroll around the neighbourhood in nothing but her birthday suit and an orange handbag.

Officers arrested the woman under the Mental Health Care and Treatment Act after receiving a call for assistance at 7. In one clip circulating online, the woman was spotted walking across a pedestrian crossing on Bedok North Street 1, in full view of motorists and a number of passersby, heading towards a bustling Heartbeat Bedok. Back in October, a shirtless year-old man was arrested — also at Heartbeat Bedok — after running around and shouting at random passersby.

Chan Eng Hui, 56, had contested the charges at trial, giving explanations that the prosecutor likened to spinning "a fairy tale" about how he came to be naked. These included the wind blowing the door open while he was in the toilet, him slipping on the floor after a shower and having to stroke his penis to ease the pain. The judge found his evidence inconsistent, shifting, contradictory and "difficult to accept". In contrast, the victim was "forthcoming and unhesitating" with unshaken evidence, she said. Chan was convicted of four charges of insulting a woman's modesty and two charges of criminal force. The court heard that Chan lived in a flat with his wife in western Singapore.
