A Sri Lankan student in Singapore was fined $2,000 and fined another $20,000 for having 287 obscene films stored in his laptop. The Straits Times reports that the accused had posted revealing pictures of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook and called her a slut. Under the law, this is criminal intimidation.

The ex-student of the Singapore Institute of Management admitted to threatening to injure the reputation of his ex-girlfriend with his homemade video.

He had taken the photographs with her consent during their relationship. After the break-up, he weaved these images into a video clip on his laptop and uploaded it on Facebook at 8am on Sept 28, 2010, with a title that included her name and the words 'slut in Singapore'. (Source: Straits Times)

This is a good lesson for all girls who are having relationships whether in or out of your country. Your chastity should be protected no matter what. No point crying after the damage has been done. Parents should also make a note of this.

This is some thing strange .Being an academician, I came across many Tamil , Muslim and Sinhalese students from Lanka at various universities in India and abroad.They are known for their hard work and self discipline.Hope that this is an isolated incident.All depends on your social back ground and,childhood grooming .The Sri Lankans irrespective of their religious and ethnic affinities they are simple and highly disciplined pupils among the South Asians

Very poor judgement by the young man. Suppressing he escaped jail term. But it looks like the video was taken with the consent of the girl. This shows the girl is also partly at fault for allowing this to happen.

Only immature people indulge in "kissing and telling". What happens during a relationship between two persons should not be the business of public, even in case of them falling apart because there should be a thing called honour among decent human beings. It is only a matter of time before FaceBook becomes Defaced Trash Book.

He deserved what he got. Pity they did not kick him out of the school and the country. Its a terrible crime to ruin someone reputation. Typical vindictive behaviour which has no place in civilized society.

That is possibly the end of the girl's marriage market while everything about the boy will be forgotten in due course.
