NOC’s Sylvia Chan files police report amidst death threats, sex video

Singapore — Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) co-founder Sylvia Chan has filed a Magistrate’s Complaint and several police reports for death threats and alleged harassment.

In response to media queries, her spokesman said on Thursday (Oct 21) that Ms Chan had filed the Magistrate’s Complaint in the State Courts following a “concerted and coordinated effort to discredit and disparage” her.

“These efforts include death threats, incessant harassment, hacking of her emails, loss of access to NOC’s financial systems and records, and even a sex video,” the spokesman said.

“The Honourable Magistrate has directed the police to commence investigations in relation to police reports filed”, they added.

In the statement, the spokesman for Ms Chan said that she intends to “thoroughly rebut” every allegation against her “in due course”.

“Sylvia has full faith that these investigations will reveal the person(s) behind this vicious campaign,” the spokesman said.

“The motivations of the person(s) leading the charge against Sylvia are becoming increasingly clear, and will be plain for all to see in time to come.”

There has also been a separate police report lodged against Ms Chan over allegations made by a group of current and former employees.

Authorities looking into the situation

On Thursday (Oct 21), a joint statement by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) said that the latter is currently in touch with the media company to look into the allegations concerning Ms Chan and NOC.

The authorities remind employers to keep workplaces safe and harassment-free, as well as to pay their employees on time.

“Individuals who encounter workplace harassment and have their salaries withheld should contact either TAFEP or the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM) early for assistance,” MOM and TAFEP added. /TISG
