On Sunday (30 July), a TikTok user uploaded a video showing a group of women at Singapore Expo swarming towards a clothes rack and snatching clothes off it before the staff could even set it up.
The incident captured on TikTok on Sunday (30 July) at the Singapore Expo has taken the internet by storm. The footage shows a woman in white causing a commotion at a sale event, with other women following her lead.
The video opens with a woman dressed in white standing next to a rack of clothes at the Singapore Expo. It is evident that a sale is underway, with several other shoppers gathered around, presumably eager to grab some deals.
However, before the woman in white can even approach the rack, a lady who appears to be a staff member stops her as they were trying to set up the rack first.
The woman in white’s attempt to approach the clothes rack gets thwarted by the vigilant staff member. This is where things take a surprising turn.
As soon as the staff members start pushing the rack, the woman in white reaches over and starts snatching the snatching the clothes off the rack, resulting in other women also joining in and following suit, as all of them started snatching clothes off the rack, causing pandemonium and chaos and clothes flew and landed everywhere.
The staff members’ efforts to position the rack properly become futile as the situation escalates. The tussling leads to some items falling on the ground, creating even more chaos.
The viral clip doesn’t just capture one isolated incident. Instead, it shows this behavior repeating with other racks as well. It becomes apparent that this is not an isolated event but a widespread phenomenon during the sale.
Towards the end of the video, the woman in white strikes again, snatching items from a fresh rack. This time, a throng of other women joins in the frenzy, causing a frantic rush for clothes.
Amidst the clamor, a voice, presumably a staff member’s, can be heard futilely trying to calm the situation with repeated cries of “Wait, wait, wait!” but without any success as the women ignored the staff.
Netizens’ comments
- The legendary first world country, third world people reputation. 🙁
- Kiasunism. The art of not being the last, not being the loser and must be the winner at all cost. Think about it. It is because of this that Singapore is what is is today. Not, saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing but due to how that same exact mentality transpired over time. It is an identity that has been and always will be part of society. Take care, Singapore
