Earlier this month (2 Jan), a resident at an apartment in Toa Payoh made a police report after discovering from CCTV footage that their clothes were thrown off the common corridor by their next-door neighbours.

The CCTV footage captured a woman and a child walking back and forth the common corridor before taking the clothes – still attached to their hangers – and tossing them off the common corridor.

The incident took place at Block 148, Lorong 1, Toa Payoh.

There were two CCTV footage that caught the duo red-handed. The first footage starts off with a little girl stepping into the scene as she casually takes down a pink garments and throws it off the common corridor. She repeats the similar task – this time on a dark blue garment – right after that before stepping out of the vicinity.

After a brief moment of stillness, a woman emerges into the frame, staring directly at the CCTV. The little girl also enters into the frame seconds later. Judging by their reactions, fair to say they assumed the CCTV was non-functional. The first CCTV footage ends at this juncture.

The second CCTV footage offers double the action than the first. This time, the woman also got her hands dirty as she makes the first move by taking down a blue t-shirt and throwing it off the common corridor. Following her footsteps, the little girl strikes again with another blue t-shirt being the next victim. Subsequently, the woman steps forward and performs the final dispatch of a black garment. Both of them then exit the scene.

Watch both the CCTV footage (combined) here:

 

No response from the authority despite filing for a police report

Despite filing for a police report the day after the incident transpired, the resident whose clothes were meddled with in the aforementioned CCTV footage told TOC that they were left out in the cold without receiving any reply nor seeing any action taken by the authority.

According to the police report, the laundries were hung outside at the common corridor at 9am on 1 January. 12 hours later, the resident noticed some of the laundries were missing. After a search was made, the missing laundries were found at the ground floor.

Upon going through the CCTV footage, the resident identified the culprits as their next-door neighbours.

“After viewing the CCTV, it was revealed that at 1750hrs, my neighbour from unit […] walked past my unit, took down my laundries and threw it down to the ground floor,” as stated in the report.

Not the first time such incident took place, due to long-term dispute with neighbour

Interestingly, the resident noted in the report that “this is not the first time such incident happened”.

In fact, the resident attributed the shameful act to “a long term dispute” with the next-door neighbour.

Hence, in an attempt to “pursue the matter” in hope to settle the ongoing disagreement at hand and prevent any further shabby events, a police report was filed. But it’s just as shameful as the act by the duo that no action whatsoever was taken by the authority.

“寒蝉效应甚于诽谤法” 施仁乔忧防假消息法遭滥用

媒体研究学者施仁乔教授(Cherian George)担忧,防止假消息法产生的寒蝉效应远甚于现有的诽谤法。只要政府认为“公众对政府信心遭削弱”,或者有散播群体间敌意和仇恨的威胁,该法赋予更广泛的权力来抑制批评声音。 任何部长都长或政府部门,都可以委任一个“主管当局”(Competent Authority)来执法。施仁乔形容,这种权限是很罕见的,因为一般仅让特定部长有法律权限。 再者,也没有安排监督机构,来监管如何裁定消息真伪。 目前任教于香港浸会大学传播研究中心的施仁乔,2014年也曾担任南洋理工大学副教授。 在获悉防止假消息法出炉后,他对于法案草案中的内容产生忧虑,在日前撰文对该法案分析评述。 他指出,比较可行的媒体管制,监管机构理应尽量避免政治干预,但是新法案却强制执法当局需服从指示,却没有任何独立的监管机制: 12 – (5) Once…
