Screenshots Expose Charity Volunteer For Trying To Sexually Groom Underage Girls For Years

William Cheah, co-founder of the catering and charity service, revealed how he discovered the truth about a volunteer in a Facebook post published on 7 November, which has since gone viral.

During a casual conversation over a meal, a 14-year-old fellow volunteer admitted that she felt "very uncomfortable" with one of the male volunteers when his name came up.

"What she told us shocked us," he wrote, adding that she also showed messages he had sent her from a year ago. "I can tell you that it's not appropriate for an adult in his 30s to be sending those kinds of messages to a then 13-year-old girl."

Upon hearing from the girls, William banned the man from attending any event organised by Kembara Kitchen. "Every one of our activities we strive for positive wholesome goals in a SAFE environment," he wrote.

"Such things must not be swept under the carpet. Such behaviour not condoned. Not under my watch."

"I am actually very straightforward and friendly," he told The Star.

Though he did not deny contacting the girls, he maintained that there were no ill intentions.

"My intention is to look for companionship," the man said, adding that, "Age is just a number," according to a report in The Star.

Section 13 defines child grooming as "any person who communicates by any means with a child for the intention of committing an offence under the Act."

It carries a maximum punishment of five years imprisonment and whipping.
