Nothing can stand in the way of justice for this 62-year-old man, not even an angry mob.
During the day and into the night, whenever the retiree had free time, he would park by a window that overlooked an outdoor parking lot in Tampines, ready to snap a photo of anyone who got out of line.
Within a month, he reported nearly 80 criminals, many of whom littered or spat in public, to authorities, Shin Min Daily News reported.
A video of him, along with his block number at 83 Tampines Street, was posted on Facebook on October 28 by a netizen. The post allegedly detailed how this guy would record each littering case, as well as the offender’s license plate number, and hand the information over to the National Environment Agency (NEA).
According to the Chinese evening newspaper, the publication provoked feelings of discontent. Some of the accused even went to his apartment to confront him, but he did not open the door for them.
He is aware that a video of him was circulating on social media and said he was offended and angry.
“I know that many people are not happy with being reported, that’s why they exposed me online. But what I’m photographing is a public space, and what I’m photographing are rapes [of the regulations]”he told the newspaper.” I just don’t want them to turn into bed bugs and harm the environment. “
He took up the unconventional ‘hobby’ in 2017, though he only intended to get proof that his neighbors were feeding the pigeons at the time. He noticed that there were many bed bugs in the parking lot and began to search them so he could report his actions to the NEA.
Despite his age, his vision has not failed. In fact, he regularly reports 70 to 80 offenders in a month, so much so that the NEA had given him a form to record his findings, the uncle said.
However, the sight of a man holding a camera by his window every day would seem peculiar to others.
He once opened the door to find the police standing there. It turned out that a woman across his block had mistaken him for a peeping Tom and reported him to the police.
“But they acquitted me of my mistakes after they inspected my camera,” he said.
