Outrage of Modesty Cases Rise in Singapore

CNA938 Singapore Singapore 15d15d Impact 5
Molestation cases in Singapore increased by approximately 7% last year, reaching about 1,530 incidents compared to the previous year. Roughly three-quarters of these cases occurred in public locations, including night spots. A year-long police campaign has been initiated to educate the public on how to respond to witnessing sexual crimes, aiming to encourage community action in tackling or preventing them. Experts suggest this rise may indicate increased public vigilance and a decrease in stigma associated with reporting such cases. The increase does not necessarily mean an absolute rise in occurrences.

“Well, let's start with the outrage of modesty cases. That rose 7.3% in 2025, with many occurring in public spaces. How concerned should we be about that number? I think we should be a little concerned. But an increase in numbers doesn't mean there's an absolute increase in numbers. It could be that people are more willing to step forward.”
