A netizen, Jason Jae Zhen, shared on the Singapore Hikers Facebook group about how he was walking along Changi Beach before being followed by an uncle who asked him if he could follow him into the toilet.
The guy said no and waved him off, but the uncle managed to find him about 10 minutes later and sat down beside him trying to strike a conversation.
The uncle then told him that he liked young guys, and he then asked if he could follow him into the toilet again, at which point the guy then started raising his voice at him.
Here is what he said
“Hey not sure if this is allowed but I wanted to share it to raise awareness.
Was walking around Changi Beach when this guy approached me asking if I was swimming as I was going to the toilet. He then asked if he could follow me into the toilet but obviously I told him no and asked him to go away.
After I got out I walked around again and he somehow managed to find me. This time he asked for my name, where I stayed etc. but I just waved him off and continued walking.
Then about 10-15 minutes later he found me again and then decided to sit beside me. This time asking to be friends and if I was schooling etc. Initially I didn’t want to make a big deal of it but I got more and more annoyed. Then he went on to clarify that he ”liked young guys” and wanted to follow me into the toilet because he wouldn’t know if he could find me again.
I raised my voice then told him to just go away and not waste my time. Initially he refused to but then left when more people came about.
I wasn’t bothered by him, but I also noticed a lot of younger school kids around. So if you’re a parent or teacher bringing your kids or early teens here, do be wary and watch over them as at the beginning he seemed to be loitering around the toilet area.”
