Keeping someone safe can be as simple as speaking up. 🥰
One evening at Sengkang MRT Station, an alert commuter noticed a man closely tailing a young lady up an escalator. Holding his phone flat against his chest and angling it upwards, he appeared to be secretly filming under her skirt. 🚨 The commuter flagged this to a Security Officer, who informed Assistant Station Manager Kenny Tan.
Kenny swiftly detained the man, separated him from the lady and informed his colleague to call the Police. 👮🏻 “We shouldn’t take these things lightly. It’s better to play safe and make sure her modesty wasn’t taken advantage of,” shared Kenny.
The suspect was subsequently arrested by the Police. 🚔 For his vigilance and decisive actions, Kenny was honoured with the SaferSG Partner (Individual) Award at the Public Transport Security Command (TransCom) Community Roadshow today. 👏🏼
At the SBS Transit booth, we also showcased some of our innovative technologies that help enhance safety and security, including MR-2, a multi-role robot that autonomously patrols Punggol Coast MRT Station, detecting security concerns such as unattended bags and loitering. 🤖✨
So if something doesn’t look right during your journey, don't hesitate to speak up. 🗣️ Your actions could help keep our public transport network safer for everyone! ❤️
