A female TikToker posted a Public Service Announcement to warn other women about a man in Serangoon who has a history of loitering outside schools and who allegedly films women with a hidden camera in his sunglasses.
The TikToker, who goes by @coffee_and_sesame on the platform, warned especially students who are returning their graduation gowns at Serangoon Broadway.

She captioned her post by writing, “pls read. saw him at kr mrt a few times. tried to stop him this time but he ran off. heard he was also seen loitering during commencement period. girls if you see him, walk away/ignore. if on campus pls call campus security. photo of him at Kent ridge with courtesy from a friend.”
In her post, she included screenshots from various news sites of a former insurance agent who was jailed and fined for stalking a teenage girl; charged for harassing schoolgirls in Bukit Timah, and accused of taking videos of female students at Singapore Management University.
Her post has been viewed nearly 161,000 times.
On the same day, another TikToker shared a screenshot from the post, saying, “I think I know this guy.”

@Vixpinkaaay said that a man had approached her outside Kent Ridge MRT station for a survey and she ended up giving him her birthdate, mobile number and email address.
She said that the man went on to send her Happy New Year and Valentine’s Day text messages, which made her feel uncomfortable, and so she ended up blocking him.
She also commented on @coffee_and_sesame’s post.
Many other netizens chimed in with their experiences with the man as well, on both posts, starting from several years ago.
