"Would you help someone in need? Why are Singaporeans so shy/reluctant at helping others?
Four men were caught on camera openly molesting a bikini-clad woman at Sentosa's countdown party. The incident took place on a stage in front of a crowd. Many onlookers were captured filming and taking photographs of the incident.
Yet no one helped her.
Several internet users highlighted this video which was posted on YouTube.com and said it occurred at the countdown beach party at Sentosa. Netizens are currently debating the incident. Some have expressed their anger towards those who did not help her but seemed content filming the incident.
Netizen Thinkoutloud said "Its becoming sick that people are more concerned on watching and video taping rather to stand up and help.
A simple shout to call for police or asking them to stop seem suddenly an impossible task.
What about you? Would you help someone in need? Why are Singaporeans so shy/reluctant at helping others?"
And the Video....
Reading the answers and comments in BOTH the article site and YouTube reflects alot on the way people think, isn't it?
There are some who felt that the girl 'asked for it'.
There are others who were angry at the onlookers.
While a few were disgusted with the 4 men.
What's YOUR view?

I'm all the above
Actually...what was she thinking dressed that way? Especially in a world like ours these days!!!
But having said that....clearly she wasn't happy about what was happening....someone should have called the authorities or something.
Frankly, as a woman, I wouldn't have dared to do anything. I would have just called someone to intervene.
hi Angeline,
My thoughts are :
1. Is she alone partying at Sentosa & where is her friends?
2. Why are the crowd taking photo/videos instead of helping her? Somehow, to me,it looks like a stage show.
However, if it's real, then the police should investigate and not let the men off so easily, since they had proof of evidences and so many eye witnesses.
hmm, someone posted more pictures of the event at another forum and it showed that the girl is dressed skimply, like a translucent bra set, with two other girls and dancing on stage.
Here's a report: She might not be 'female'.
