It seems that peeping toms are becoming even more technologically advanced in their endeavours to sneak shots that outrage others' modesties. Beyond the past cases of hidden cameras and sneaky mobile phone filming, they have possibly turned to drones!

On 21 Sep, Facebook user Alex Lee posted a video showing a drone flying between flats at the Treelodge estate in Punggol.

In the video, two women believed to be Lee's wife and sister were heard discussing if the drone is being used for perverse purposes. In the accompanying caption, Lee writes that it seems that the drone "is flying to room and toilet areas to peep."

His wife and sister were, unfortunately, unable to pinpoint where the drone was being controlled from.

The drone was seen hovering at various blocks and spending several seconds outside each homes' small windows, which are toilet windows.

Eventually, it flies off in another direction, with the pair wondering if the operator had known that the drone was being watched. 

Drones must be flown outside of restricted, danger, protected and prohibited areas, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). In some areas including Punggol, drones have other restrictions, such as not being able to fly within five kilometres of an aerodrome or airbase.

It is necessary to apply for a Class 2 Activity Permit, should the drone be meeting any of the above conditions.

The zones where a Class 2 Activity Permit is required is shown here. Punggol is under "within five kilometres of an aerodrome/airbase".

Many netizens were outraged at such a brazen act from a possible pervert, as well as the fact of flying drones being illegal in Punggol if one does not have a Class 2 Activity Permit. 

However, others joked that it could be the National Environment Agency using the drone to catch people smoking at home, referring to the possibility of smoking being banned even in one's house.

Who knew that such an act was possible?! Now that you know, do let your friends and family know so that they can be on the alert for such cases too! Remember to share this!

Youth summit sends messages of hope and embracing diversity, Singapore News & Top Stories - The Straits Times

Youth summit sends messages of hope and embracing diversity

SINGAPORE - Lasalle College of The Arts student Claire Teo suffers from an eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa and has vision limited to the scope of a 10 cent coin.

But the 19-year-old's visual impairment did not stop her from participating in a mass fan dance on Sunday (Aug 26) as part of the two-day Youth Summit, under Buddhist organisation the Singapore Soka Association's Youth Division.

The event was held at Our Tampines Hub and saw over 13,500 youths from various backgrounds, ethnic groups and faiths participating over the weekend. The summit's theme was "choose hope - embracing diversity, empowering lives".

Miss Teo said taking part in the performance was challenging, but she was fortunate to have the support of friends and fellow participants.

To learn the dance steps she had to rely on a friend who verbally described each move.

"It took a lot of patience on her part, but my friend has been very supportive and fellow participants have been very encouraging," said Miss Teo, who practised for three months.

"I see this summit as a gathering of people who want to fight for hope and peace. I want to contribute and say that I've chosen hope. I hope that whoever sees us dance will be encouraged and choose hope with us."

Speaking at the closing of the summit, Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information and Culture, Community and Youth, said: "We cannot take our racial and religious harmony for granted. This bears emphasising because our country's openness - through immigration and the influence of the Internet- contributes to an increasingly complex religious landscape."

She also said it was important to bridge understanding among ethnic and religious groups. "This will strengthen the foundation for trust and respect between diverse communities, for us to face future challenges together as one people."

The summit also included exhibitions featuring young people who had made a difference, such as Mr Abdul Hakeem Mohamed Yunos, 26, chairman of the Jamiyah Singapore Youth Group which started the initiative 'Muslim Youth Ambassador of Peace'.

The initiative aims to counter threats to peace and raise awareness about self-radicalism. Mr Hakeem said: "We need to understand each other so we can co-exist and embrace diversity. We shouldn't be afraid to talk about things like radicalism, in fact we should discuss it."

Since May, the Singapore Soka Association's Youth Division has been organising various projects in the lead-up to the summit, which included interactive opportunities with the community and interfaith groups, as well as projects for the less privileged.

Blue light from mobile phones and computers can cause irreversible damage to eyes: Scientific Reports study, Tech News & Top Stories - The Straits Times

Blue light from mobile phones and computers can cause irreversible damage to eyes: Scientific Reports study

Blue light from devices such as smartphones and computers can cause irreversible damage to the eyes, a study in the United States has found.

The study, which was published in July by researchers from the University of Toledo (UT) in Ohio, found that blue light from digital devices could cause diseases such as loss of central vision and night blindness.

One of the researchers of the project, Dr Ajith Karunarathne, told the UT website that humans are continuously exposed to blue light because the eye's cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina," she said.

"Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop."

The study was published in Scientific Reports, a free online journal from the publishers of Nature. Nature is a science journal that was first published in 1869.

Blue light has a very short wavelength relative to other visible lights, so it produces a higher amount of energy.

Exposure to blue light causes a particular molecule in the eye to produce poisonous chemical molecules that affect light-sensitive cells, said the UT researchers.

This can lead to diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and night blindness.

AMD is a irreversible medical condition that results in loss of central vision, and is also a major cause of blindness for those above 50 years old, according to the Singapore National Eye Centre website.

Patients can still have enough peripheral vision to continue with some daily activities, but will have difficulty recognising faces, driving, or reading.

The UT researchers are currently measuring light coming from televisions, handphones and table screens to better understand how cells in the eyes respond to everyday blue light exposure.

They added that people who want to protect their eyes from blue light can avoid looking at cell phones or tablets in the dark, and wear sunglasses that can filter both ultraviolet and blue light.
