A Mall Mayhem That Made Netizens Fume
Picture this: you’re strolling around a bustling mall, coffee in hand, when suddenly a brawl erupts right at the entrance. Two ladies, one in her fifties and the other in her seventies, are shouting and jabbing—yes, attacking—like a scene straight out of a vintage sitcom but with a very real and upsetting flair. The odd part? The by‑stander who snags the whole ordeal on her phone is more of a spectator than a hero.
What the Video Showed
- A woman in her fifties throws a slap in the face of a senior lady, using nothing more glamorous than a slipper.
- Her sidekick steps up to shield the elder, proving the “war‑zone” had an informal defender.
- Once the trio walks away, the police car rolls past—nice timing for the next part of the drama.
- Two of the women resume their tussle near a taxi outside the mall, showing that “justice” wasn’t fulfilled by a quick police whistle.
- The recorder, meanwhile, can be heard chuckling in the background—because why not?
The Bystander’s Two-Fold Role
“The lady in her fifties was beating up another lady in her seventies and was in pain,” an Instagram caption read, and the perpetrator was called out by the passer‑by. Yet there’s a glaring question: did she simply record the video, or did she actively step in to stop the beating? Apparently not. Instead, she filmed it while the assault persisted.
Twitter & Facebook – The Storming Public Reaction
- “At least stop the abuse while waiting for the police.” One netizen sighed but was not amused.
- Another netizen was enraged at the fact that the supposed bystander was laughing while recording the attack—calls it a “gross lack of empathy.”
- All in all, the comments read like a mix of “Get off your phone!” and “Are people reading smartphones or are these people actually reading?”
So, What To Do If You Witness Something Like This?
Here’s a quick guide—take a breather, grab your phone, then more importantly, take action. Either call the police or call out the attacker. If you’re unsure, simply stop bystander antics and intervene—or at minimum, summon help. Let them feel the weight of their wet‑hand deserved justice.
Thanks for sticking around to read—go out, keep it safe, and remember: The world can be a scary place, but so can your phone’s record button.
What Can a Passer‑by Actually Do? A Quick Action Guide

Tokyo‑style Brawls on Singapore Streets: What’s Really Going On?
Ever walk down a sidewalk and feel like you’re in a reality‑TV episode? Singapore’s downtown recently proved that’s not just a fantasy. Two wild fight scenes – one under a HDB void deck, another in Chinatown – captured the internet’s attention and left strangers scratching their heads about why nobody intervened. AsiaOne reached out to the police for the inside scoop, and here’s what we’ve pieced together.
Fight 1: Dakota’s Void Deck Drama
Picture this: April, a bunch of elderly gentlemen, a dull HDB void deck in Dakota, and a 5‑minute clip that did nothing but go viral. No one flinched, no one “shot a ghost” – just peace‑keeping folks staring away as the two battled it out. Some netizens asked, “Why didn’t anyone step in?” Their answer? It’s not that people are noble; it’s that the fight was so awkwardly mundane that even the most vigilant people found it “boring” enough to ignore.
Fight 2: Chinatown’s Glass‑Bottle Chaos
Fast forward to May – an argument erupting in Chinatown at People’s Park Food Centre. A 60‑year‑old man was barreled with a glass bottle and a chair. Imagine the thrill of a high‑stakes game of dodgeball where the stakes are your skull! While he clutched his wounded head, a group of diners – the unsung heroes of the scene – acted fast, stepping in before the situation spiraled further. Meanwhile, the 44‑year‑old alleged aggressor got taken into custody for voluntarily causing harm.
- Victim: 60‑year‑old, neck‑and‑head injuries
- Attackers: 44‑year‑old, charged with causing hurt
- Location: People’s Park Food Centre
- Response: On‑scene diners subdued the fight; Police arrested the assailant
What the Police Say
AsiaOne reached out to get more details from the Singapore Police Force. The police are still dissecting any CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, and trying to determine the motive behind these seemingly ordinary, yet deadly, altercations. The message? It’s not always heroic – sometimes it’s just a fight you wish you were never a part of.
Quick Takeaways
- Public should stay aware and consider stepping in – Kitchen‑ware…the next thing it is! (But keep that in mind if you’re not a trained mediator.)
- The police are on it, but they’re still gathering evidence.
- Remember, “bystander” can mean either a spectator or a fellow person – i.e., the crime’s second victim.
Stay alert, stay safe, and if you ever see a fight – call the police, don’t take the role of the “City’s newest security team.”
