Company's head of technology stuck camera to toilet ceiling to film colleagues, gets jail after it falls off

SINGAPORE: The head of technology at a company bought a camera online and stuck it to the ceiling of his workplace toilet, hoping to film his female colleagues in an attempt his lawyer called"amateurish ... beyond belief".

The court heard that Balasingam bought the camera online sometime in May 2019. About a month later, on the morning of Jun 25, 2019, he placed the camera in the women's toilet at his workplace for voyeuristic purposes. Fearing that he was found out, Balasingam asked to speak privately with the HR manager and confessed that he was the culprit. He said he was inspired to place cameras in women's toilets by watching online websites such as YouTube.

"The fact that my client bought the camera one month before taping it to the ceiling - contrary to the prosecution saying it's premeditated, I respectfully submit that it shows there was no premeditation," said Mr Chia. In response, Deputy Public Prosecutor Heershan Kaur said even if it was true that Balasingam stuck the camera with blu-tack or scotch tape, it"hardly shows it was amateurish".

The judge agreed that it was"entirely fortuitous" that the camera did not record anything, but noted the potential harm.
