JOHOR BARU: A 29-year-old dental nurse working in Singapore has been living in fear of her ex-boyfriend.
She alleged that he made death threats and shared non-consensual intimate images with her family and online followers.
The victim, who wished to be known as Nini, recounted her ordeal during a press conference organised by public complaints group Team TLK’s Johor bureau yesterday.
Nini said she met the man while she was on an internship at a private drug rehabilitation centre where he worked as a team leader.
The two began dating a month later and he subsequently rented a room in her Larkin apartment.
“I didn’t suspect he had an aggressive personality. His behaviour changed gradually after we started dating,” Nini said.
Her nightmare escalated in May when female housemates reported missing belongings, including undergarments.
When Nini confronted him, the argument turned violent.
“He got physical with me, slapping and punching me,” she said.
Suspecting substance abuse, Nini contacted the man’s mother.
During a joint confrontation at the apartment, he confessed to using drugs.
When Nini attempted to end the relationship, both the man and his mother objected.
He then threatened to leak her private photos and videos.
Though she initially yielded out of fear, the violence worsened, leaving her emotionally traumatised.
The situation reached a breaking point in July when, following another argument, the man issued death threats and distributed her compromising photos and videos to her parents, relatives and social media platforms.
The leak severely strained her family relationship while the harassment expanded to her workplace.
Team TLK Johor bureau chief Lim Thow Siang confirmed that Nini had lodged two police reports.
When contacted, a police official confirmed they are investigating the matter.
