SINGAPORE, Feb 13 - A Singapore Airlines pilot was fined A$12,000 for trying to bring child pornography into Australia, court documents showed on Wednesday.
Ng Kok Yauw, 40, captained a Singapore Airlines flight last Saturday from the city-state to Adelaide, Australia, when customs officials searched his laptop and found video clips of child pornography, Adelaide court documents seen by Reuters said.
Ng, who appeared in court on Monday, pleaded guilty to charges of importing banned material and making a false statement to a customs officer.
He could not be reached for comment but Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest airline by market value, said the airline was conducting its own investigation.
Seven video files were found on Ng's computer, some of which contained footage of rape, sexual violence and children engaged in sexual activity, the documents said.
The maximum sentence in Australia for offences involving child pornography is a fine of A$275,000 and 10 years imprisonment.
While it is not an offence to bring pornographic material into Australia, an Australian customs spokeswoman said it was an crime to bring in "objectionable" or "abhorrent" pornography into the country.
This would include materials that "offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults", the spokeswoman said.
The pilot was one of three men caught last week by Australian custom officials for importing "offensive" pornography. Local media in Singapore said one of these was a Malaysian Airline pilot.

Another SIA employee fined for importing child pornography.
Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, February 23
SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines air steward was fined AU$10,000 in an Adelaide court on Friday for importing child pornography.
He is the third international airline employee to be convicted of importing child pornography in the past five weeks.
The court said customs officers at Adelaide International Airport found five videos and multiple still photos on his computer.
The air steward, who was not in court for the judgement, has been suspended from his job.
Child porno is wrong because the child involved is being exploited or even the child is willing.. there is a possibility of being conned by adult. Buying child porno is supporting of there industry that exploit kid for money. so it is a no no.
nobody would care about porn, but child porn is a different story
