TikTok user @ang3itzx posted a video of a rat wriggling through a hole in a box at Scarlett Supermarket in Chinatown on 23 October.
A small hole was seen in the box that was stored on a top shelf of the supermarket, with the rat wriggling, appearing to be stuck in the hole.
The netizen then panned the camera down to reveal the surroundings of the area, with shoppers walking around.
The netizen responded to comments, revealing that it was taken at Scarlett Supermarket and that she had informed the staff about what she had just seen.
Scarlett Supermarket has since apologised for the incident and said on Sunday that they have been made aware of the sighting of the rat.
They added that they will be destroying the affected products and that they have been doing pest control regularly.
They said that the premises was cleaned and pest control operations were conducted that night, and added that they will ensure all products that they are selling are safe and hygienic.
