When Campus Romance Turns Hilariously Dark
Ong Jing Xiang, a fresh NUS graduate, found himself in the school of hard knocks after his one‑year stalk‑and‑bug spree. Turns out the “ex” of a woman (still under a gag order) decided to break the digital and physical walls of her life.
The Police Report: “You’re Not My Friend, You’re Not My Fan!”
- He broke into her campus room just to snag the phone’s verification code. Yes, the code that opens the treasure chest called Telegram.
- He flooded her inbox with over 100 messages and 60 missed calls. Think “Need to talk?” turned into “Let’s talk, forever!”
- He threatened her, poured details about her wardrobe, and even accused her of flirting when she did not want to.
Mapping the Timeline: From “Hey, How’s It Going?” to FBI‑Level
2017: First introduction. He thought he saw the future, but alas, she was not on board.
August 2019: Began stalking on apps. He was like the bad “Prince” of a rom‑com: “Don’t let him flirt, I’ll save you.”
Dec. 2019: 60 missed calls, 100 texts. “Hello, is someone home?” became a haunting chorus.
Jan 2020 (last year): Started knocking on her door. If she didn’t answer, he’d threaten “I’ll find you.”
Week of Jan 30: He slipped into her room, captured a verification code while she was in the bathroom (what a ruse!). Added his number to her Telegram, claiming he read her conversation.
March 2020: Posted a complaint to NUS, but the man escalated. Now he was sending “30 texts a day.” “If you ignore me, I’ll still haunt you forever.”
July 25: Official police report – the bureaucracy got in for a while.
Aug 1: NUS issued a No‑Contact Order. He finally complied.
What’s Next?
Ong is scheduled for sentencing on Nov 11.
Aftermath: The woman, still under legal shield, now feels paranoid whenever someone knocks—talking about a new invisible “tantrum” from a broken guardian lock.
In short, campus life learned that storytelling can be more frightening than a horror film. And the moral? Respect privacy; if not, you’ll end up with a guilty plea and a future that’s anything but bright.
