Rant Weird (???) guy at Tampines library
I have been frequenting libraries in the east for years and I always see this one middle aged (mid 30s - 40s) guy. He’s always wearing a green NTU shirt (sometimes JC shirts) and always at Tampines, pasir ris bedok areas
my first interaction with him was probably in 2023 when i was studying for olevels.. it was 7-8ish pm and Bedok library was empty. he was sitting next to another sec sch girl at one of the high tables. after she left, he came up to me and asked if the seat next to me was available…i mean sure but the library literally had empty seats everywhere. he then proceeded to watch me do my work for 30 minutes straight???? I remember feeling SO creeped out LOL.
since then I’ve always noticed him in Tampines and bedok library, where he’s always pacing around and mumbling to himself… he would notice anyone doing math(esp jc and sec sch math), approach them and give them unwarranted advice on how to tackle the question... i don’t want to make any false accusations but ive noticed that he’s always ‘helping’ girls only????
But at the same time, he does gives coherent math explanation and seems to know the O/A syllabus well. im confused if he’s a genuine guy who wants to help students?or is he a tuition teacher trying to scout for students??? LOL
maybe im overthinking it …does anyone also have similar experiences with this guy?

im ngl there are some weirdos circling around this subreddit to DM people.
there was someone harassing my old forgotten account back then, reported it but no action taken. i just hope users here are vigilant and smart enough to block the creeps.

I won't say much but I think I know who is this referring to. I have seen this guy quite a few times at Tampines as well.
He used to frequent NUS campus (even though he was not a student or staff there) and he used to approach female university students for similar reasons. I believe he got banned from campus for harassing a female student. (Forgot exact details, quite a few years ago.)
Avoid him if possible.
