The Singapore Police Force is currently investigating a video that has gone viral online allegedly showing a man following female students while wearing smart glasses. The police confirmed on September 23 that a report had been lodged following queries. The video, which was initially shared on Reddit on September 21 but subsequently removed, depicts a bespectacled man walking behind a group of female students in uniforms similar to those of Raffles Institution.
Upon being approached by the individual filming him, the man reverses his direction and is observed holding a finger near the left hinge of his black-rimmed smart glasses. The singaporeparents account reposted the video on Instagram on September 22, alleging that the man was wearing smart glasses and that the incident occurred near Marymount MRT station, which is close to Raffles Institution.
Smart glasses are a type of eyewear that integrates technological functionalities such as video recording, microphones, or tiny speakers. These glasses, often characterized by a thick rim, have raised privacy concerns worldwide. The Straits Times has reached out to Raffles Institution for further details on the matter.
