You can read the full post below:
“He touched my younger sister (age 15) while sitting next to her on the mrt.
she did not react or say anything because she was afraid. I called the school to report on the matter and they firmly believe that it wasnt their student.
because my sister had no evidence/ clear memory of what the guy looked like, we decided not to pursue on the matter he is seen to be always lurking at punggol mrt / compass one
hope you can share about this matter to warn the girls out there.”
26-year-old Indian national, Balachandran Parthiban, disobeyed orders not to leave the hospital premises after his swab test, and took a bus and taxi to Changi Airport.
He had tried to buy a ticket home but failed.
He was later caught by the police and subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 the following day.
Parthiban pleaded guilty on 12 July to 2 charges under the Infectious Diseases Act, and was sentenced to 9 months jail.
What happened?
Parthiban was living at the Jurong Penjuru Dormitory 1 when it was declared an isolation area last year (18 April).
On 23 May, he felt sick and suspected he had Covid-19 because his dorm mates had been infected.
He was conveyed to SGH in an ambulance where he was swabbed, before being transferred at 1.40pm to a fever screening area.
He was repeatedly told in English and Tamil that he couldn’t leave the area until the results were ready.
But Parthiban then left the premises and walked towards Tiong Bahru before boarding a public bus, before alighting and taking a taxi to Changi Airport.
He then tried to buy a ticket home but failed.
Parthiban then loitered around the airport for about 4 hours before he was found by the police and taken back to SGH.
The taxi driver who picked him up was quarantined for 14 days and tested negative for Covid-19.
Parthiban was discharged on 8 June last year and sent back to his dormitory, where he was to remain for 14 days under LOA.
But he left the dorm after 8 days with his passport and 2 bags, at around 6am.

Zheng then confronted the maid to pour away the tainted food and make a new one, but the maid denied spitting into the cup.
She only admitted after she was showed the CCTV footage.
