Singapore ― Wanting to “discuss the guys we’ve talked to and dates we’ve been on” with other girls, a 22-year-old woman decided to create a Telegram group and spreadsheet for girls to share.
Koh Boon Ki created a Telegram group titled “sg dating adventures”, which grew on Sunday (Oct 17).
Someone in the chat group then created a Google spreadsheet titled “Dating Guide SG” that was shared in the chat. The document was split into two tabs, labelled “Blacklist” and “Avoid”. It purportedly compiled the details of dozens of men from anonymous users into an open document, with allegations ranging from cheating to sexual assault. But the chat soon devolved to include discussions about the sexual prowess or lack thereof of certain men.
Circulating on TikTok were screenshots of the Google sheet and a list of reasons not to date certain guys. Though the names of the men were not shown in the screenshot, the reasons in the extensive list included; sexual assault and domestic abuse cases, filming girls having sex without consent, proposed and ghosted after 2 months, underage minor pretending to be 22.
Koh was accused of doxing and harassment by other TikTok users, as the document and chat shared personal details of the men, such as their full names and contact details.
The document has since been deleted, but it is not known if copies were made. In an Instagram post in the early hours of Monday morning (Oct 18), Ms Koh claimed the group chat was closed.
Under the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA), those who publish the personal information of another to cause harassment, alarm or distress, may be jailed for up to six months and fined up to $5,000.
Those convicted of defamation under the Penal Code may be jailed for up to two years and fined. /TISG
