  "account": "Two girls in Sengkang were followed by a man who appeared balding and dressed in a grey t-shirt. The girls, who were getting ice cream at a supermarket, decided to sit on a bench in Block 216A Compassvale Drive, opposite Compass One mall. The man, who seemed to be loitering, approached them and asked if they would do something for money. When they refused, he kept begging and eventually hid behind pillars. The girls then chased him back to his hiding spot, despite his apologies. The incident was captured on TikTok by one of the girls, who said they posted it as a coping mechanism. No police report was made by the girls.",
