A 28-year-old male employee of Mediacorp was arrested on 10 June 2025 on suspicion of voyeurism at the company’s headquarters, located at 1 Stars Avenue.
According to state media CNA, police confirmed they were alerted at around 2 p.m. after reports of suspicious behaviour in a female toilet. The man was later taken into custody in connection with the offence.
Immediate termination of employment
Mediacorp said in a statement that the employee’s contract was terminated immediately after the incident came to light.
The company described the case as a “serious incident” and emphasised that it had handed the matter over to the authorities for investigation.
A spokesperson stressed the broadcaster’s commitment to workplace safety, saying: “The safety and well-being of our employees is of paramount importance to us, and we remain committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for all.”
Ongoing investigation
Police confirmed that investigations are ongoing. No further details have been released regarding the circumstances of the incident.
The offence of voyeurism in Singapore is covered under the Penal Code, which criminalises the act of observing or recording an individual without consent for sexual purposes in places where privacy is reasonably expected, such as toilets or changing rooms.
Voyeurism is punishable by imprisonment, fines, or caning, depending on the severity of the case.
Broader concerns about workplace safety
The arrest has highlighted concerns around workplace safety and the responsibility of organisations to protect employees.
In recent years, Singapore authorities have taken a firm stance on offences involving voyeurism, citing the need to safeguard personal privacy and deter potential offenders.
Employers are also expected to maintain clear reporting channels and take immediate action when misconduct is reported.
Mediacorp has stated that it is cooperating fully with the police as the investigation continues.
