Well, that's not something you see every day. A man was spotted lying spreadeagled in the middle of a busy road on Wednesday (March 31) afternoon, with absolutely nothing to preserve his dignity.
In a video uploaded to Facebook, the man was observed 'sunbathing' at the junction of Tiong Bahru road and Zion road, unperturbed by the passing vehicles and his proximity to them.
A car was seen parked a few feet away from him, shielding the man from the flow of traffic, while the driver stood beside the vehicle.
The video, which has gathered over 250 shares across different social media pages at the time of writing, had netizens worrying if the man was suffering from any disorders.
They also thanked the driver for protecting the man and commended him for his compassion.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said they responded to a call for assistance.
The 51-year-old man was arrested for appearing nude in a public place, as well as for suspected drug-related offences.
Police investigations are still ongoing.
Under the Road Traffic (Pedestrian Crossing) Rules, it is also considered an offence to stand, sit, squat, loiter, walk or run in a manner that interferes with the movement of traffic.

If he just had un-spotted skin , the police wold have left him alone.
But the man was spotted, and spotted nudity is not really culturally acceptable. He had to be removed.
Maybe Florida Man was on vacation?
Tiong Bahru. Singapore. (It’s very hot and humid there now)
I thought Zion, Illinois for a second... kinda cold for that still.
I thought we were supposed to soak up all the vitamin D that we could.
What kind of spots? Writing like this kills me.
Wait a minute...
I thought the only things you find on the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos!
I think THAT guy is pretty lucky to be alive, too!
Not drugs, then. This is Singapore...
He has more to worry about then jail.
He got sunburned... in a bad bad spot.
