Based on the address displayed on the van, the man is believed to be employed by Joo Huat Trading, which sells dried goods and is located at the mall.

Responding to queries from AsiaOne, a spokesperson for Joo Huat Trading said the company is aware of the incident and is looking into the matter.

“We understand that this is an inappropriate action and serious matter”, the representative said.

In the comments section, several netizens condemned the man for his lack of consideration and poor hygiene, while others urged the company to hold the driver accountable.

“(Mall) management can take this up with the company, make them pay for the cleaning fee, and let the driver bear the cost,” said one user.

Another added: “It seems like this is not the first time (as) he (appears) to be urinating there very naturally.”
