A Singaporean woman who was filmed without wearing a mask at the Shunfu market and engaging passers-by in a heated argument is being investigated for voluntarily causing harm, causing public nuisance, and violating safe distancing measures.
The videos of the altercations have been circulating online since Sunday afternoon (May 3).
In a clip, the woman tells two other people, “You don’t tell people what to do, that’s the law.”
One responds that he shouldn’t have made an indecent gesture, but the woman says, “You should have taken care of your own business … you shouldn’t have yelled at me in the first place.”
In another clip, in a different location, she can be seen covering her face with her arm and holding a phone together with a 47-year-old woman, whom she allegedly assaulted, while arguing with another group of people.
In it, she claims to be “sovereign,” saying, “It means I have nothing to do with the police, it means I have no contract with the police. They have nothing to say about me.”
A man, who is offscreen, replies, “This doesn’t even make sense. If you are a person in Singapore, you must follow the Singapore rules.”
But the woman replies: “That is the question: I am not a person, I am ‘us, the people.'”
Police said Sunday they received a call for assistance around 12:15 p.m. that day at 320 Shunfu Road.
According to preliminary investigations, the woman in the video, a 40-year-old Singaporean who had previously violated safe distancing measures, was not wearing a mask and had allegedly assaulted the 47-year-old woman, who advised her to put it on. .
In a statement, a police spokesperson said that the police seriously consider this behavior abusive and irresponsible, especially in the current situation of Covid-19.
“We urge the public to take circuit breaker measures seriously and comply with safe distance measures,” he said.
