A video of a person hurling soil from the corridor of an HDB block at construction workers below has sparked outrage among netizens, with some describing the act as “rude” and “unacceptable”.
The clip, shared by an anonymous contributor on Instagram account @sgfollowsall on March 15, shows a hand scooping soil from a potted plant before throwing it from height at two construction workers below. One of the workers reacts and looks upwards.
The video, which has garnered more than 2,800 reactions and 300 comments, was captioned: “Some boy throw dirt at construction over ‘very noise work’.”
It is unclear where or when the video was recorded.
Netizens criticise behaviour
Many netizens were unimpressed by the perpetrator’s actions.
“This person (has a) very bad heart. Don’t do that to people. In this world, everyone is (earning) a living,” one netizen said.
Another Instagram user said this was not the way to deal with construction noise.
“I’m really let down by your behaviour. I know the site’s been loud, but you could’ve handled it better by speaking to the project manager or someone who could address your concerns,” said the netizen.
Others called for the authorities to take action, pointing out that the act could be considered high-rise littering.
