SINGAPORE: Multiple reports have been lodged about people dressed as clowns and approaching children at various primary schools, the police told CNA on Monday .

Investigations are ongoing, said the police, adding that they are “verifying the facts with an education centre on their alleged involvement in the incidents”. This comes after photos circulating on social media show a man dressed as a clown outside what appears to be Temasek Primary School in Bedok South Avenue 3.

Tao Nan School, a primary school located nearby, informed parents in a notice that police had alerted that people dressed as clowns were “seen loitering around primary schools and requesting to follow them”.Please remind your child/ward not to be lured by any strangers and keep school informed or call police immediately if your child/ward spot any suspicious characters around the school premises.

The police also cautioned members of the public to stay away from strangers and to report any suspicious people or activities."Call 999 if you require immediate assistance from the police, or visit the nearest Neighbourhood Police Centre to speak to a police officer," they said.

Who was the clown suggested this idea for promotion, etc.?

A simple clown also cannot be accepted in singapore...sad la..all creative things in singapore being killed by rules n law.

I really pity the person who works as a clown professionally... Social stigma.

Call Batman

Its an innovative marketing stunt , a stunt like that , no law infringement , and now it went viral , it is a strong free advertisement

This is so messed up!

Is this a way of teaching students not to follow strangers home? Then make them write a compo about it?

Stop this foolish & stupid marketing gig.

Pennywise is here? 🤡👻

Of all caricatures - clowns? How out of touch!
