A 52-year-old British man is facing legal action in Singapore after allegedly concealing a camera in an aircraft toilet during a flight from Japan to Singapore on 7 October.

According to the Singapore Police Force, the individual reportedly used a mobile application to remotely activate the device.

He faces one count of voyeurism under the Penal Code and the Tokyo Convention Act, which carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison, a fine, or caning. Additionally, he faces a charge of obstructing the course of justice, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, a fine, or both.
