Revellers urged to stay alert at countdown parties
New Year's Eve is a day she will always remember.
At a countdown party held on a Sentosa beach in 2006, Megan (not her real name) was molested when foam was released on the 12,000 party- goers gathered there.
Then 19, she had gone to the party with friends but met some new ones who molested her while they were being lathered with white foam.
She had not expected it as she thought the men were "decent".
"I could not see anything," said the 23-year-old undergraduate. "It happened so fast and there was so much chaos. There was nothing I could do about it."
The event became the first and last outdoor party she attended.
Such incidents are common at crowded festive events. As revellers gear up for tonight's year- end parties, police yesterday advised members of the public to stay vigilant against crime.
Large crowds and heavy traffic are expected at areas such as Orchard Road, Marina Bay, VivoCity and Sentosa.
