He hid camera behind bathroom cabinet to film women flat-mates.
Toh was sentenced in a district court to three weeks' jail for insulting the modesty of the tenant. -- ST PHOTO: WONG KWAI CHOWA WOMAN was just about to undress when she spotted a hole on a bathroom cabinet in a Choa Chu Kang flat last December.
The 31-year-old who had been renting a room in the unit took a closer look. What she saw shocked her.
A pinhole-camera, which was hidden within pails, lay on top of the cabinet, said court documents.
A length of wire attached to it passed through a drilled hole in the wall, leading to the flat's master bedroom. There it was linked to a computer.
When she went to the bedroom, she saw that the computer could record and save the images being captured by the pinhole-camera.
She immediately told her six other room-mates about her discovery and confronted private school student Toh Tong Ming, 26, who slept in that bedroom, before making a police report.
Toh had been living in the flat, owned by his uncle.
On Wednesday, Toh was sentenced in a district court to three weeks' jail for insulting the modesty of the tenant.
The woman is not named in order to protect her identity.
According to court documents, Toh had control of the camera and computer from his bedroom. When he was found out in the early hours of Dec 30, he took down the entire system. It is not known when he had installed it.
His lawyer Mr Rajan Nair told the court that his client suffered from a delusional disorder which stemmed from a long-standing social phobia.
As Toh was led away by police officers, he was seen moving hurriedly face-down, refusing to look at anyone, including his mother who was present in court.
