Man stole wallets for sexual kicks
The New Paper
By Amanda Yong
When he was seven, Low Ji Qing, the youngest of six children, would sniff his eldest sister’s wallets, handbags and undergarments.
They reminded him of her and gave him comfort.
The sister, 10 years his senior, was the only sibling he felt close to, as she played with him and tutored him.
As he grew older, he had recurrent sexual urges and fantasies involving his sister’s wallet. And so began his life-long obsession with women’s wallets.
Low, now 47, began stealing the wallets of other women to satisfy his sexual urges.
His thefts landed him in jail for a total of 16 years. In all those years, he kept his fetish a secret because he was ashamed.
His thefts and subsequent convictions reached a point where Low gave up hope and resigned himself to dying in prison.
Low told The New Paper yesterday that he had sought treatment at Institute of Mental Health (IMH) in 1996 after getting out of jail for the third time. But he wasn’t ready to reveal the sexual nature of his behaviour.
“I was afraid of the shame. I didn’t know how to tell them (IMH) because I didn’t know if there was anyone else in the world who has the same problem as me,” hesaid.
“I was likely going in for 20 years this time and there was probably no chance for me at all, so I gave up all hope.” he said after being caught again in June 2010 for stealing.
This is the first time Low has spoken to the media about his condition.

IN Singapore, wherein Education, Knowledge, & Progress has been touted as World Class repeatedly over the decades, it is saddening to read of a person who's suffering from an obvious known psychological and or sexual disorder, has been denied his Rights as a Human to be accorded the relevant psychiatric attention, but instead being Judicially Ostracized from society.
I tell you, there are MANY more such people in high places who harbor similar fetishes or even worse ones. Just that their income capacities and or status in profession enables them to live with whatever Fetish they somehow developed.
If no one knows what this man's problem is about, read the following article on Object Sexuality. The person in question is branded a Criminal, when he is in actual fact, a medical subject of interest in the area of Psychology, and he is in every sense of the term - a Mental Patient. Ever heard of people who get off from ingesting human feces? It is also a form of Fetish & there may be people out there Stealing Crap from other people. Which Section will that come under?
