CNA Published: 6:37pm, 29 Sep 2026 A 30-year-old man was charged on Tuesday over an AI-generated image of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir in Singapore that prompted authorities to search for the reptile and suspend water activities there.
Ye Lin, a Myanmar national, was handed two charges – one count of communicating a false message and one count of obstructing the course of justice.
Speaking through an interpreter, he told the court that he intended to plead guilty, and would not be engaging a lawyer.
On August 20, Ye Lin allegedly sent an artificial intelligence -generated image depicting a crocodile at the reservoir to a person named in court documents as Min Min Oo. Select Voice Select Speed 0.8x 0.9x 1.0x 1.1x 1.2x 1.5x 1.75x 00:00 00:00 1x AI-generated voice
