This video was said to have been taken yesterday at the Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market and Food Centre. In the video, a well-dressed lady is seen arguing with an old man over the seats at a round table in the hawker centre. She called someone for help and an equally well-dressed young man came to her rescue, shoving the old man from behind, causing him to fall forward.
Full video:
Without any context as to what led to the argument between the couple and the old man, it is not appropriate to pass any judgement. Nonetheless, most online commentators feel that the young man should not have shoved the old man even if the latter was in the wrong.
A forummer on EDMW provided the full audio transcript from the video as below:
[0:03] <Woman talking on phone>From various EDMW forum replies, there were also screen grabs from the replies of a Facebook user, Janice Lim, who claimed to be present during the event.
She alleged that the old man was polite when he asked for the seat and that the well-dressed young man went on to shove all the used plates and utensils to the floor in anger after the incident.
Whatever the situation, please be reminded of the Singapore Kindness Movement.
Life is already so stressful in Singapore. Let’s all just apply a little more kindness in our daily actions and Singapore will be a better place to live in for everyone.
BTW, an online vigilante, Ang Tock Seng went about fingering a Cherry Tan as the female culprit in the pushing incident. His accusation is baseless and now he is getting a taste of his own medicine with a CSI bounty placed on his head by other online vigilante. Please be responsible when commenting online. The internet is serious business.

Good work , now we can really point out that the ill mannered couples are claiming all the seats in that table to be theirs and not willing to share with others.
Right! is there a law saying by placing things on table means your seats?
Dress NICE? Educated? Act Civilized? means GOOD people???
Rich? full of shit! What to do, when our society is like that. your looks, your cert., what else can be done?
Did the law PUNISH these 2 idiots? No, No, No, what if these video shows 1 with tattoo, police will go look for him???
These 2 idiots should be educated. Can't they behave. Anybody who knows these 2 idiots, please identify them.
yes they are hooligans :( Why dressed smartly but behaviour sooooo bad.....)
Agree, use all technology to post all their ACTS to the world, question is our law will stop our post and protect them, because they are educated, well dressed, contributing tax.
They are the worst hooligans should be taught a lesson. The stupid idiot should be punished for banging on the old man.
All our taxpayer money on these 2 bloody young couple goes down to drain. Smartly dressed and yet behave like hooligans. Hope they will get their tribulation when the time comes for them. They think they are rich and can do whatever they want ! All the ppl and even their frens should have snub them unless they belong to the same bloody creature like them.
Anonymous, you are wrong. If they are rich, they won't be fighting for the table at Hawker Centre. They are only a couple of dressing nicely animal.
Fully agreed that these two ill mannered hooligans need to be dealt with severely.
Can't even give a little respect to the elderly. ha....they will grow old too.
Worst is, that unreasonable well dressed young man just listen to that bad mouth female hooligan and start his action on that old man. Wonder whether his mother give birth to him or that hooligan lady ??? Never mind, soon that hooligan lady will create a bigger task for him
to act rashly and get punish by both the Government Authority or Real Hooligan or tribulation.
Act HERO. bully old ppl only, got guts go geylang and try push, WOMENS' slave, call himself a man, who cant identufy whats' right? whats' wrong, hope i can get his photo, anyone has?
Sincerely hope that the Authority will take action on both unreasonable hooligans.
ill mannered but wore respectfully also USELESS...a lady did saw the whole incident that claimed the old man ask politely.
I appreciate our clean and non nonsense Government/ Bishan/Toa Payoh GRC MP and the police to looks into the matter. Firstly using of force to and elderly with bodily contact in a public area is it an offence, thus it warranted such a behaviour.
Secondly out of anger the young bully splash and spill food waste from the table to the floor intentionally, is it another offence.
It is terribly disgusting of a young new generation couple action esp in a public Food Court to show might and commit such acts.
What happen if the poor old man being push, fell and hit his head on impact with the concrete floor and brain dead , it become a case of murder. They simply takes the laws in to their own hand, no more gangsters or hooligans today ,999 is very effective to date and works pricelessly to send a strong signal to all such category of bullies, never try your luck with the CID.
Sudden impulse act out of anger or agitation and shrewd behaviour from todays younger generation need to be check and stern
actions and corrective training meted out to deter others from following. Another example is last week killing of a young 31 years old man at a multi storey car park by 09 shameless Singaporean young generation(no more logo/tattoos) it does not work in Singapore. I PERSONALLY suggest that such offenders be barred from applying for a International passport or revoked their existing passports for a period of time. If they can do it in Singapore and neglects our stringent laws set here ,their behaviour
will be no different if they travels abroad, only bring shame to Singapore. Another scenario likes the case at Toa Payoh food
court, make the couple do community works there clearing tray and clean up the floor for a short period of time to ensure they
show remorse. Such case may not warranted a jail sentence and just a fine will not stop them to recurred their actions.
Thank You, I am a normal Singaporean, loves my country and the elderly, share with all and not against anyone.
Hope our government, law enforcer, can do something on nicely dress, educated, tax payer, so what? show us your fairness and justice!
So what if they could be manager, relatives of some BIG shots. real life things, legally cover up!
Make them do volunteer work at old folks home
Volunteer work is too light a punishment ....three strokes of ROTAN CANING should teach them a good lesson.
Oh,woman cannot be caned in Singapore .... increase the jail term to 3 months..The other woman prisoners will know how to teach this "f xxxx " woman a very good lesson that she will never forget.
Is people like them that tarnish the reputation of Singapore. They should practice mutual respect and more to the elderly
100% support the ideas of sending this 2 to do community works. Send them to the same place where they had splash the foods and drinks on the floor.
Yes good idea make them clean up the place. If the man is big and stronger I doubt the idiot dare to bang him.
