Ah neh caught in the act: Woman exposes man who secretly filmed her on NEL train

Share

A ‘ah neh’ was caught secretly filming a woman on North East Line MRT train on Saturday (May 13, 2017).

In an ironic twist, the ‘ah neh’ was exposed by the victim herself, known as Ms Uma Mageswari.

Ms Uma had shot a video of the man taking a video of her and uploaded the video on her Facebook page on Monday night (May 15, 2017).

“This is a video that I had recorded on 13th May 2017 Saturday at 7.40pm a minute or so after I had boarded the train at Outram mrt. I was heading towards Harbourfront to meet a friend. This guy quickly plonked himself on the seat opposite mine though it wasn’t as if the train was crowded and he had to race to get a seat. I was seated in the 2-seater located at the far ends of the carriage. He then proceeded to whip out his phone and I think the rest speaks for itself once you view the video.

The dumbass didn’t realise his folly obviously. I made my own recording of him but understandably lost my temper afterwards when confronting him over his actions. The mrt staff were most helpful and the SPF arrived at the scene within minutes. Upon further investigation this chap was found to be in possession of similar videos though I am told they were rather obscene in nature of unsuspecting victims.

This man’s name is Suraj. This asshole holds an employment pass. He had a range of excuses for his deplorable actions. His last feeble attempt of an apology was that ‘I was like his sister’.

I am highlighting this episode to the public in general to serve as a deterrent for other such assholes. Please always remain aware of your surroundings and never be afraid to speak out against such acts that may be committed against you or others around you.

You don’t have to be a victim of your circumstances. Ever.” – Uma Mageswari

His actions were exposed by a reflection on the MRT window.

Bodoh

According to Ms Uma, she received help from MRT staff and the authorities arrived “within minutes”.

In a statement, the police said: “At 7.52pm, police received a call for assistance at 81 Telok Blangah Road.

“The police has classified the case as intentionally causing alarm under the Protection from Harassment Act. Investigations are ongoing.”

Ms Uma claimed that the man was also “found to be in possession of similar videos” and was told that they were “rather obscene in nature”.

The maximum penalty for insulting the modesty of a woman, or attempting to do so, is one year’s jail and a fine.
