A recalcitrant stalker, who filmed students near schools and pestered some of them for personal details, will return to prison after repeating his earlier offences of harassing young girls. In one of the latest incidents, the court heard that Fong Poh Kuen had obtained the...
They included a 16-year-old girl, a recent secondary school graduate, who he messaged about a month later after her junior college application results were released.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jeremy Bin said Fong had visited some of these schools to record video footage of the students, either by placing his phone in his breast pocket with the camera facing away from him, or by holding it in his hand at chest height. The prosecutor said Fong had harassed TMJC students on five other occasions between April 21, 2021 and March 9, 2022.
On his use of fake surveys, DPP Bin said Fong would lie to the students that he represented an educational institution or government body, and deceive them into believing that he was conducting the surveys on their authority.Fong would then stalk them by sending them text messages, and in some cases, keep them under surveillance by using the information he had collected.
After finding the victim’s user details in the directory, he contacted the victim and told her he knew she was enrolled in the university and had her NTU details.This happened soon after Fong finished serving a prison sentence for harassing other students. He had been convicted of similar offences on Oct 1, 2019, where he was sentenced to three months’ jail and a fine of $8,000. His sentence was backdated to Aug 8,2019.
