Wholesome Singapore guys immediately say yes to helping female TikToker who said she was being followed

In a recent social experiment, TikToker Fateyma (@fateyma_khan_) asked a group of young men in Singapore if they would help her if she felt she was being stalked. Upon approaching them, the men readily agreed to walk with her, responding with phrases such as "Sure, bro" and "Walk with us? Sure, bro".

Ms Fateyma explained that she thought a man was following her after leaving Orchard MRT station, and the men showed concern by asking if she should call someone for assistance. She mentioned that the man seemed large and potentially threatening. One of the men advised her to ask the stranger to back off, while another suggested contacting the police.

The TikVoker then revealed that it was all part of a social experiment, expressing gratitude for their prompt assistance. She questioned why they would help her, as her stalker could have physically harmed them if the situation had been real. One of the men defended her actions, stating, "There's no harm to me helping somebody out that's in danger."

Ms Fateyma emphasized that while Singapore is generally a safe place, there are still incidents of stalking and harassment. She hoped that her experiment would showcase the kindness of people in Singapore who would come to the aid of those in danger. The 21-year-old vlogger conducted the same experiment with young women, and received similar helpful responses from the ladies.
