The whole ordeal took place in Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Food Center around 8.45 pm where the elderly man was holding a tray of food, asking the woman how many people were sitting at the table. The woman’s irritated reply was “can’t you see it’s reserved”, said Janice Lim, 50, an eyewitness at the scene.
Lim added that there was a small foldable umbrella on the table, which as filled with dishes and leftover food from previous patrons.
“The elderly man said he could not, and repeated a few times that he just needed one seat, but did not raise his voice,” said Lim. He also asked the young woman what she meant by “reserve”, as the hawker center was a pulic place.
The woman shouted at him “you don’t understand the word reservation?” and even called him a “bl**dy old man” and “f****** old man”. Lim also noticed that the woman was on the phone most probably to call for her companion to back her up.
Shortly after that, the young man came and shoved the old man from behind causing him to lose his balance, but he managed to stay on his feet by holding onto the table. “Why you disturb her”, the young man asked.
A man in black from the table beside the whole ordeal stood up and offered the elderly man the last seat on his table.
The young man was confronted by another patron later telling him he should not have pushed the elderly man. The young man then pushed the plates and bowls which were on the table onto the floor in anger, leaving a mess for the cleaners.
Tsk tsk, why do we have such uncivilized human beings among us? Didn’t your parents ever teach you about respect?
Rumor has it that the two young people worked at UOB. The bank posted Facebook post stating that the bank is looking into whether the two were members of the bank’s staff at the Toa Payoh branch.
Have a look at the video and tell us what you think!
I really do hope they lose their job as they bring bad company image if the company plans to keep them.
