The culprit behind the clowns standing outside schools has been found, it is a promotor from Speech Academy Asia, a parent claimed that her child was offered $1,000 to follow the man.

So is the mother, daughter or the man lying?

In their Facebook page they said:

“Dear Parents,

With reference to the news spreading online, of a promoter clad in a clown costume spotted outside various primary schools, posted on 20 September 2021, we would like to extend our sincere apologies for the cause of concern over the safety of your children.

We would like to clarify that; although indeed, the promoter is an employee of Speech Academy Asia, our team do not offer any form of monetary rewards for children to follow them. Additionally, our promoters strictly do not take any children out of the vicinity.

We truly understand your concern for the safety of your children; hence we will be putting an immediate stop to our roadshows.

Once again, we truly apologize for any inconveniences caused, and we thank you for your kind understanding.

Your sincerely,

Speech Academy Asia”

Is this netizen lying? Or the clown really did offer money?

A girl shared a screenshot of the texts that a guy sent her, asking her if he could inappropriately touch her.

He said that his girlfriend is “not even checking on me”, before giving up and saying: “I go watch p*rn and f@p la”.

He added that he “wan r*pe some kids to release stress”.

The Bus 189 ( SBS 6404 E ) was crowded and there’s a few commuters who were try to board the bus despite it being almost full.

The bus driver shouted : “Hello! Take the next bus!” and proceeds to close the front door shut. One poor lady’s hand was stuck in between the closed door and was shouting in pain. The driver saw what had happened and re-open the doors. He proceeds to scold the lady. “I told you to take the next bus!” and drove off. Leaving the lady crying in pain while holding her injured hand.

There’s a bus full of passengers that can support my claim. I hope relevant officials can take action against the driver – [Bus 189 ( SBS 6404 E )

Personal opinion: Both passenger and the driver are to blame on this matter. Passenger shouldn’t have board when the bus is full. Driver should have warned twice before closing the door, which he didn’t. He closed the door immediately after he shouted. Didn’t even apologize after the incident.

Nao Nan School located at Marine Scres has alerted the Police after a man dressing as a clown has been asking students from the school to follow him.

The school send an advisory to parents warning their child to not get lured by strangers.

The photo of the clown and an advisory has since gone viral this morning (Sept 20)

Tan Chuan-Jin posted on Facebook earlier today to the person in the photo to stop doing and the Police are investigating the incident.

In his Facebook post he said:

“Whoever is doing what I assume to be some viral marketing nonsense, stop it! People dressed as clowns have been seen loitering around primary schools asking students to follow them. Please remind your children, DO NOT follow them and to report to the police.

I trust the Police are investigating this. It’s not amusing and just plain dangerous.”

A netizen said:

A HDB resident shared a photo of the walkway of his unit’s corridor.

It was being blocked by a neighbour who parked his/her bicycle and PMA along the corridor.

The netizen shared how he told them about their bikes “everyday” but nothing has been done about it.
