A spokesperson from Changi Airport Group has since revealed that the incident happened months ago. While the Group noted that the act captured in the video is illegal, it did not elaborate on whether action was taken against the woman captured in the viral video.
The spokesperson said: “The incidents captured in the videos are not recent, having occurred months ago. The actions of the individuals in the videos contravene existing laws.”
