The student allegedly inserted a mobile phone through a bathroom window to film the housemate, according to reports. Authorities have been notified of the incident, which occurred at a shared housing address.
Police investigations into the matter are ongoing. The alleged conduct constitutes a serious violation of privacy laws in Singapore, which prohibit voyeurism and the non-consensual recording of individuals in private spaces.
Under the Penal Code, voyeurism offences carry significant penalties, including imprisonment and fines. The case comes amid growing public concern about privacy breaches and the misuse of smartphones and recording devices in private settings.
NUS has not issued a public statement regarding potential disciplinary action against the student. The university's code of conduct requires students to adhere to laws and community standards of behavior. The investigation is expected to determine whether further charges will be pursued.
