A French teenager has been fined 600 Singapore dollars (approximately $465 USD) for a viral video depicting him licking straws at a metro station. The teen pleaded guilty to vandalism for the act, which was filmed and widely shared online. The act was considered a public nuisance and a breach of Singapore’s strict public health regulations. Authorities expressed concern over the potential spread of germs and the disregard for public safety. The incident mirrors a similar, earlier stunt involving a different individual, prompting a warning against such behavior from Singaporean officials. The court emphasized the seriousness of the offense and the need to deter similar actions, despite the defendant’s young age and remorse. He must pay the fine or serve three days in jail if unable to do so.
