Singapore ‘killer clown’ prankster takes down videos, apologises for prank that backfired
SINGAPORE – The student who dressed up as a “killer clown” has apologised for his actions, admitting that the prank had “backfired” after he received negative feedback on social media.
In a six-minute video posted on YouTube on Monday (Oct 31) night, Mr Joel Wong said he had taken both videos of the prank, which showed the 19-year-old – dressed in white and wearing a clown mask – attempting to scare passers-by at a park and an underpass.
…
“We filmed the video extremely impromptu. I guess I just rushed into it and really did not consider the consequences. I was careful with how I executed the prank in the sense that I made sure no real (or fake) weapons or harmful objects were used, and that I kept a good distance from the people I scared,” he said.
“Of course, I missed the whole big picture – that I was still in fact scaring innocent people and causing a public nuisance…I wanted to make a viral video. I guess that was the only thing that I managed (but in all the wrong ways).”
