Uncle Secretly Took Photo of Girl Sleeping in MRT & Even Zoomed in For A Closer Look

It’s human nature to be attracted to anything pleasant to the eyes.

Just like how my eyes are naturally tuned to detect every “SALE” sign over the years – the red and white words, often in bold, scream “look at me!”

Irresistible. 

This explains why fashion models have to look their utmost best on visuals and people turn to cosmetic procedures to improve their physical appearance. This is also the reason why the beauty industry will never go out of business.

As with human nature once again, good-looking or well-endowed people are usually the head-turners. When faced with such a person, one can’t help but take a double or even triple take. The mind says no, but the heart wants what it wants.

While some enjoy the attention of others, there are those that think otherwise – this, we often forget.

Man caught ogling at taken picture of a girl

On 8 May, Wednesday, a Facebook page called Helloあsia Singapore uploaded photos of an old man who was caught snapping a photo of a girl seated diagonally opposite him.

What’s better, he proceeded to zoom in to get a better look at the unsuspecting victim.

Questions

The post which has since been circulated by more than a thousand netizens raises a few questions.

1. Did the witness notify the girl of what happened?
2. Was the old man faced with any punishment?
3. What happened to the photo in the end?

Obviously, what the old man did was wrong on so many levels and he invaded her privacy without her consent.

But not everybody’s happy with the peeping tom’s peeping tom.

Hopefully, the person who snapped the photos did do something other than reporting it online.

After all, he isn’t helping. He’s just propagating SJW vibes online.

Unreported cases like this are aplenty so what can be done?

In hopes of battling the occurrence of sexual assaults, women-only trains are operational in countries like Japan and India. However, they are not 100% foolproof, and may not be viable for Singapore.

Ultimately, it’s up to people like you and me to look out for one another.

And ladies, if you ever find yourself getting photographed without your permission, i.e. like the lady above, here’s some help for you.

Stares from the Public

There has been ongoing talk globally about how girls are taught to cover up and protect themselves, instead of shifting the focus on how guys should be taught to behave properly.

A girl can be well covered, but still be faced with uncomfortable stares in public. Worst still, girls can be well covered, but still fall victim to sexual harassment i.e. rape.

This clearly highlights the fact that clothing is not an issue here. Instead, what needs to change is corrective and preventive measures to avoid such a situation in the first place.

In the meantime, don’t stay silent. Also, don’t just take a picture and post it online.
