Sneaking photos of women at Siloso Beach

In early 2022, a video of a woman confronting a man for sneaking some photos of her and her sister at Siloso Beach went viral on social media.

In the video, the woman got hold of his mobile phone and asked "Look at this. You telling me you never take (our photos)?"

When the man asked for his phone back, the woman said: "Don't f****ing come close to me. I will punch your f***ing face right now".

According to her, there were eight to nine photographs of her and her sister on his mobile phone.

The man took to Instagram to apologise to the two women the following day, admitting that he should not have taken photos of them without consent.

He also apologised for touching the woman as he tried to move her out of the way outside the toilet, saying: "I am sorry for offending you and making you two feel uncomfortable."
