The woman who caused an uproar when she defecated outside Holland Village MRT Station last month has been found to have a long history of schizophrenia and intellectual disability.

In view of the circumstances, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said it has issued the 34-year-old Singaporean a stern warning.

On Aug 13, a photo of the woman defecating was posted on the Internet by a member of the public, leading to an online uproar, with many slamming her for the inappropriate behaviour.

In reply to TODAY’s queries, the NEA said urinating or defecating in public was an offence under the Environmental Public Health Act and offenders are liable to a maximum fine of S$1,000 for the first conviction.
