December 15th, 2010 - Temasek Review
A former Chairman of the Ponggol Park Community Club Management
Committee was sentenced to 9 months’ jail on Tuesday for taking
upskirt videos of unsuspecting women with a camera pen.
35 year-old Danny Soo Ee Hock had pleaded guilty two weeks ago
to 12 charges of intruding into the privacy of women between
November 2008 and March last year, with another 189 similar charges
taken into consideration.
The Court heard that he would clip a camera pen onto his
laptop bag and place it under the skirt of the unsuspecting female
standing in front of him on an escalator, to capture an upskirt
digital video recording of her thighs and underwear.
He was arrested at Junction 8 Bishan Shopping Centre on July 7,
2009.
District Judge Lee Poh Choo said Soo knew full well what he was
doing and was a serial offender. She said he intended to keep those
images for a long time as he had burnt them onto a CD, and ‘that
shows the extent of his perverted mind’.
A ccording to an article on PA’s website (which had been
removed), Soo was described as energetic and enterprising with
commitment and passion to ‘tackle countless challenges in
spearheading innovative programmes for youths’. It revealed that
Soo started out as a member of the Youth Executive Committee (YEC)
before gradually rising to become the “youngest” Chairman of the
Punggol Park Community Club Management Committees (CCMC) at the age
of 34.
He was awarded the Public Service Medal during the National Day
Awards this year which was reported in the Straits Times and yet
for some strange reasons, the Straits Times deliberately omitted
his grassroots actvities and “achievements”.
Soo is appealing and a bail of $20,000 was offered.
