A Thai pop singer-turned-entrepreneur has turned to social media after losing a $400,000 watch during the recent Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The F1 weekend ran from Oct 3 to 5.<\/p>\n

On Nov 1, Jinny Chotivichit posted a video on her TikTok account saying her Richard Mille watch had been stolen on Oct 5. The post had garnered over 467,000 views and 21,800 likes at press time.<\/p>\n

Richard Mille is a high-end Swiss watch brand known for its luxury timepieces, often worn by celebrities and professional athletes, with prices frequently exceeding hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never imagined that such an incident would happen. Especially in Singapore, a country that I loved and admired for so long, and considered as one of the safest places in the world,” she said.<\/p>\n

She told Stomp that she could not provide further details, as the police are still investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

In her Instagram post, Ms Chotivichit appealed to watch traders or resale shop owners to contact her if they came across the item.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

She added: “This watch was more than just a possession, it represented personal significance and my own hard-earned money. Its loss has been deeply upsetting.”<\/p>\n

The post also included a video clip of the watch, a Richard Mille RM07-01 model with diamonds and a white crocodile strap.<\/p>\n

Commenting on TikTok, she said she felt unprotected in a “supposedly secure environment” and had let her guard down because she trusted Singapore to be safe.<\/p>\n

Mixed reactions online<\/h3>\n

Some netizens empathised with her plight.<\/p>\n

“So stressful. Hope you find your precious watch soon,” one netizen commented, while a few others agreed that Singapore seemed less safe than before.<\/p>\n

Others were more sceptical. “Low crime doesn’t mean no crime. There’s still plenty of crime, just that it’s lower compared to most other countries,” one user said.<\/p>\n

Another commented: “Why blame Singapore for something you lost? It’s the responsibility of the owner to keep tabs of your own belongings.”<\/p>\n

Other netizens saw humour in the situation, with one joking: “So next time I go to a ‘safe country’, I should let my guard down.”<\/p>\n

Stomp has contacted Ms Chotivichit and the police for comment.<\/p>\n
