TikToker gets backlash for blaming 15-min queue on unvaccinated mallgoers at Choa Chu Kang mall entrance

Singapore ― A video circulating online of a member of the public blaming unvaccinated individuals for the long queue at a Choa Chu Kang shopping mall has sparked a backlash from netizens.

TikTok user kenifxyz uploaded a video on the app on Thursday (Oct 14) which has garnered over 193,000 views to date.

The video claimed that the individual behind the camera had to wait 15 minutes to enter Lot One, a shopping mall near Choa Chu Kang MRT station.

The caption reads, “Idea: maybe if we all got vaxxed (sic), we wouldn’t have to have such measures.”

Beginning Wednesday (Oct 13), unvaccinated individuals are not allowed into shopping malls, large standalone stores and attractions.

Unvaccinated individuals are also excluded from dining in all food & beverage establishments.

Such measures were implemented amid spikes in Covid-19 community cases.

Meanwhile, members from the online community responded to the TikTok video, noting that some people can’t get vaccinated because of allergies or choose to wait for another vaccine type.

“Honey, not all of can get vaccinated or want to. Let people have their opinions geez,” commented TikTok user boble.bop.

“And yes, I understand your frustration. But as someone suffering from two chronic illnesses, it is extremely difficult to get vaccinated,” said another.

“Caption is such an insensitive take man. Majority of people can’t take the vax (sic) because of health concerns,” said a TikTok user.

Still, others came to the TikToker’s defence and said he did not specifically blame those unable to get vaccinated due to health concerns.

“Obviously, he is referring to the people who can get safely vaccinated and choose not to,” noted TikTok user Danish.

Some also highlighted the mall’s management of the new measures, suggesting a better system.

“Why don’t they adjust the code so that when it scans, it turns green for vax and red for unvax (sic),” said TikTok user Kik. /TISG
