Singapore — The police are investigating an alleged voyeurism incident in a hall of residence at the Nanyang Technological University on Wednesday (Aug 26).

The NTU said in a statement that campus security was alerted to the incident at around 3.45 pm that day. The university and a 20-year-old man are assisting the police with their investigations.

The incident allegedly occurred between two males who lived two doors apart.

According to soapbox.sg, an independent student-run news organisation, the alleged victim, a third-year student said he was naked in the shower when he heard creaking sounds from his bathroom stall door.

The 23-year-old mathematics student said that he looked up and saw a black phone over the door with its camera pointed at him.

He shouted and opened the door, only to see a man running out. He realised from the person’s clothes that he was his neighbour.

The victim got dressed and confronted the alleged culprit, who had changed his clothes by then. The latter told him that it was the first time he had committed such an act and asked if they could settle the matter quietly through payment. He said in Mandarin that he was being “playful” and “curious” and insisted he did not manage to take any footage.

An NTU spokesperson said: “We are providing all necessary pastoral care and assistance to the students concerned. The university is assisting the police in their investigation.”

The NTU statement added that it “takes a very serious view of any criminal conduct” and that any student found guilty will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include suspension or expulsion. /TISG

The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...
