Samuel Ong, 19, sneaked into a female toilet at Singapore`s Changi Airport earlier this year and used his camera phone to snap shots of a woman from under the cubicle door. The woman caught him and reported him to the police.

Ong, who pleaded guilty, has to do 60 hours of community service, observe a curfew as part of his sentence and continue psychiatric treatment, the Straits Times reported.

His parents also had to sign a S$5,000 ($3,663) bond ensuring his good behaviour.

Ong`s lawyer pleaded for leniency saying that Ong was a good student and that he regretted bringing shame to his family.
