Singapore — A viral video posted late Monday night (Nov 8) showed a man from a group of foreigners picking up a ‘Wet floor’ sign and hurling it at a child standing nearby.
The video, posted to the popular Facebook page Wake Up, Singapore, showed the child and presumably her mother standing outside a Hindu temple at around 8.30 pm along Keong Saik Road. Out of the three or so men, one clad in black hit a ‘Wet floor’ sign that was placed outside the temple directly at the child. The man then dashed away.
Another from their group picked up the sign and is seen walking away as the child could be heard wailing in the background. The woman with the child then shouted at the men: “Please! You cannot do that to a child! What’s your name, IC number? I’m going to report you to the police”.
She could be seen picking up the child as the little girl cried. The group of men also walked off. The 14-second-long clip was filmed by someone standing behind the group, some distance away from the temple.
The video caption alleged that the group “later went on to cause more havoc around town, including at Outram Park MRT”.
“It seems like a group of foreigners and this one guy in particular deliberately flung a sign at this kid to hit her. Don’t know if it was an act of racism or mischief. Immed[iately] after the woman started shouting at the white shirt guy and they ran away. Before that they were making a nuisance la like singing in the public loudly”, the caption read.
Men throw sign at a kid outside Singapore temple
Why did these men throw a sign at a child outside a temple? Is this funny to them?
@singaporepoliceforce this occurred around 8.30pm at Keong Saik Road. It appears that they later went on to cause more havoc around town, including at Outram Park MRT.
“It seems like a group of foreigners and this one guy in particular deliberately flung a sign at this kid to hit her. Don’t know if it was an act of racism or mischief.
Immed after the woman started shouting at the white shirt guy and they ran away. Before that they were making a nuisance la like singing in the public loudly.
Hope that by sending it to you there will be more awareness and a pressure to catch the culprits.”
