A video emerged online showing an elderly busker being robbed by a man in broad daylight and right in front of him, along Orchard Road.
The elderly busker, 78-year-old Chua Kim Seng, was doing a dance performance along Orchard outside an unspecified shopping mall.
A person who appears to be a Caucasian man wearing black shorts, a blue t-shirt and donning headphones on his head, was seen in the video walking slowly towards the elderly busker’s tip jar.
The elderly man then stopped his performance after noticing the man and appeared to be asking him what he was doing.
The man then reached into the tip jar and purportedly took money from it, before walking away from the scene, as the confused busker remained rooted in shock.
Passer-by tried to help
Another elderly woman then passed by and the elderly busker then appeared to be telling him what happened, and the auntie then gestured towards the man to come back but to no avail.
She then shouted at the man as she walked over to confront him, as the man fled the scene.
Throughout the video, the person who was filming the video could be heard laughing mockingly at the whole incident unfolding before him.
It is unclear who the cameraman is or what exactly was so funny to him when an old person trying to make an honest living is being robbed of his earnings in broad daylight.
