Remember the couple who were caught walking down Holland Village naked during the Chinese New Year period?
Their identities have been revealed as the two of them were charged today. Here’s the news report via Straits Times.com:
Nude couple charged
By Elena Chong
April 9, 2009
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.
Initially, I had the perception that both of the nudists were foreigners. Hence I was quite surprised to find out the lady, Ms Eng Kai Er is actually a Singaporean.
What’s even more shocking…
A simple googling of her name brings me to a page featuring a 2007 list of A*STAR National Science Scholars!
There’s a girl by the same name who was awarded with an A*STAR scholarship to study in Karolinska Institutet in Sweden:
The charged Eng Kai Er was described as a Singaporean studying in Sweden via the Straits Times.com news report…
Putting two and two together. She should be the same person hor? Anyone can verify?

Hmm... so this is what our scholars learnt from their expensive overseas education? How to run around naked without feeling embarrassed?
what's to be ashamed about the naked body?
I think most of you got the girl's attitude wrong. At least she is more open minded after studying abroad and particularly being exposed to swedish culture of nudity. So being open to nudity is not a crime. What is a crime is to walk nude in Singapore lah.
this type of hairstyle apply for scholarship can get meh!!!!
i think singaporeans are all dumb, stupid
. even such a thing can also make it to news. lol
She must be a fan of Annabelle Chong who was from Hwa Chong too.
Btw, why she show her fanny then but cover her face now?
wah she damn ugly no wonder must take off clothes so people will look at her
They obviously do not teach morality at A*Star.
Although Eng Kai Er is a A*Star scholar but such a discriminated Chinese Singapore Citizen who never think consequence about the Singapore Chinese Community & about her parents feeling who have raise her up until she get a spot at the A*Star. I would like to suggest the Singapore Chinese Citizen sent a petition letter to the judge who dealing the case should sent her & the ang moh to jail or IMH for maximum 2 yrs & a fine of $10,000 & the A*Star management should revoked the scholarship that was given to her. No Bargain & No Question Ask.
