The story that heated up in June 2012 depicts life in a simple neighborhood of Singapore as seemingly ordinary. Children play in public areas while families carry out their daily routines without thinking of anything else. However, within one household, things are changing. A sister, curious about her 11-year-old brother's phone activities, discovers something on that phone. There are messages from an individual known as Yab Wang, and the content of those messages raises suspicions. It is entirely inappropriate for an 11-year-old. She questions her brother about this, and what she learns confuses them both. It reveals that Mr. Yab is a strange person he met online, over 18 years old, and someone who has done bad things to him. Shocked and scared, they approached the authorities and filed a complaint. They did not know that their brave step in seeking help from the police would create a chain of events that stirred the entire nation.
Three months after filing the complaint with the police, law enforcement officials raided Mr. Yab Wang's rented apartment. Their findings in this operation tarnished Mr. Yab Wang's reputation. He was confirmed to be a notorious offender against children, becoming one of the most infamous cases in Singapore's history.
