A netizen shared a post about how a man was harassing her friend, who was a minor, and asking her if she wanted to see him “master bed”.

Here is the story:

“this is from my friends account. she’s a minor from singapore.

she was disturbed by a man trying to share explicit photos with her. i was so disgusted when she told me what was going on. the man immediately blocked her once she threatened to call the police.

many people have been so used to receiving dms like this to the point they find it almost normal to see pedos like these trying to groom people.

some may this this isn’t that big of an issue when it really is. Minors should not be receiving such messages like these. some of them just don’t know what to do because they’re still so young. so calling the police might be tough because they may think the situation isn’t big. or maybe they’re embarrassed to speak up.

I’ve seen many people on tiktok spreading awareness about theyre own personal story of being faced with such circumstances.

But what about singapore?
i’ve seen many people from Singapore trying to get theyre justice by spreading awareness but, usually, it barely gets any attention and likes.

i hope maybe you would help to spread awareness on this issue and I feel so bad for everyone who has gone thru something like this. Not just in cyberspace, but in real life too.

Even my own siblings were stalked back home when they were younger and have been stared at by older men to the point they needed to call my parents to feel safe.

even some of my friends (+myself) have even experienced older adults preying on us. eg; stalking us back home; staring at our private areas; sometimes approaching us even when in school uniform.

please help, because this happens to so many people and it needs to stop. some of the people doing this to us may even be teachers or relatives that we look up to.

please help spread awareness on this because as many of our friends have informed us – some if them have been receiving dms/msgs such as these since they were much younger.

thank you for your time.”

He met her at her HDB void deck on 28 June 2020.

She was wearing her school uniform at the time and agreed to have sex with him, they then engaged in sexual acts on each other that same day, at a staircase landing.

Teo then went to her home 2 days later when she was alone and the two had sex.

He then returned again on 19 October and had sex with her again, he then went to the toilet to wash up afterwards.

However, the girl’s parents then returned home and teo hid inside the toilet for about an hour.

The father of the girl became suspicious and in the end, Teo came out of the toilet naked.

He asked Teo if he knew how old his daughter was, to which Teo say 15.

The father then slapped him in the face as the mother called the police.

Teo then asked if he could wear his clothes, but the mother refused to let him do so and made him wait for the police first.

He was later arrested and the police seized a pair of underwear, his phone as well as the girl’s phone.

Do be careful if you are considering to get a helper from them.

It’s a totally absurd service we received! Unreasonable, lousiest maid agency we ever met.

Stay away from them, don’t throw your money into the drain and when things happened, no apologies given.

All we need is a replacement maid, all they did was dragging time again and again. When asked for refund, all we got back is being yelled at over the phone!

Help share around to create awareness.

Since 14th Aug 21, we have been complaining to the agent umpteen times about how the helper is actually using her phone the WHOLE DAMN DAY. Even can go on Facebook live with our kids in her Facebook video WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. 14th Aug 21 she apologised, and 18th September 21, same thing happened again on her Facebook live (view attached screenshot)!

She is behaving like the boss of the house (look at screenshot photos). But we just kept quiet and tolerating all the nonsense.

The agent and the boss came down to our place once to had a talk, we gave her one more chance. End up, we really cannot take it anymore. She cooked for our kids white rice + luncheon meat, white rice + chicken without soup and also, porridge + ikan bilis. Such a lazy helper… We got no choice but to keep pushing the agent that we need a replacement. As she first came to us end of July.

The replacement of maid just kept dragging and dragging until last night… My helper said she do not want our youngest daughter to sleep with her. Like a queen again… So I had no choice, but to messaged the agent for a full refund. We will look for another agent.

Today the agent’s boss called, and he said “$500 take and go, maid return us” (when we paid for 2.6k+ for this helper), AND EVEN ADD A WORD “WHEN WE ASK YOU TO GIVE HER A CHANCE YOU CAN DONT GIVE”, is this the way you talk to your client, honestly? I mean, you could have just apologise, and we will also be more than willing to accept, as we have waited so long for a replacement maid. We have been very lenient and patience towards this whole scenario.

So….what we got back in the end was the boss shouting over the phone like they have got no wrong & its all our fault!

Is this how you trained your helpers which is why this helper only know how to talk back rudely and argue when at fault? Cook such food for our kids? Even buying outside have more nutrients than what the helper cooked! Your helper can cook good food for herself but cannot cook for our kids?

Anyway, attached all message conversations below. Please enlighten me what should I do in this situation!

The Police are looking for the man shown in the image below to assist with investigations into a case of dishonest misappropriation of property reported at Blk 447A Jalan Kayu on 17 September 2021.
