A 39-year-old woman was fully absorbed in herĀ “square dance” continuously for eight hours at Bedok Town Centre on September 10, during which she stripped down to her underwear.

According to Lianhe Wanbao, the woman started her solo burlesque at around 7am.Ā The onlookers described the incident as “out of blue”.

According to eyewitnesses, they did not pay much heedĀ at first until it got increasingly strange.Ā The woman started swaying both arms about while remained feet crossed and rooted to the ground firmly.

Until about 3pm, eight hours later, she had been dancing in the same way throughout, except changing arm motions from “left-and-right” to “up-and-down”, despite it had a thunderstormĀ for a period of time.

Later, she strippedĀ down to her underwear openly, presumably becauseĀ her dress had been soaked by rain. She then started strolling around the square.

By then, the onlookers had started feeling odd, phoning the police immediately.

Police arrived at the scene and arrested the woman. A police officer verified that the woman is 39 years old andĀ is understood to be of Vietnamese descent.

She is under aĀ psychiatric assessment and a health checkup atĀ Institute of Mental Health (IMH) while accompanied by her family.
