An Australian man faces severe penalties in Singapore - including a caning - for allegedly swearing during an argument on board a Tiger Airways plane earlier this month.
The incident occurred on January 3 on board an overnight flight from Perth to Singapore; when the plane landed, the man was arrested.
The West Australian has identified the man as 47-year-old maritime worker Bruce Griffiths.
