She claimed she was not allowed into the baby nursing room to fill her daughter\u2019s water bottle until she showed her baby through the intercom camera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">According to the woman, she commented to a family member that the situation was \u201cstupid\u201d, after which the security officer allegedly replied over the intercom: \u201cYou then stupid!\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-lg md:my-xl\">\n<p><hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 lg:hidden\"\/><span class=\"text-grayscale-400 text-14 leading-16 font-primary text-center lg:text-left p-sm\">Scroll to continue reading<\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"flex-1 border-grayscale-100 my-md\"\/>\n<hr class=\"my-md border-grayscale-100\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She also claimed the officer refused to identify himself and told her she could find him at the Fire Control Centre (FCC).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">According to her, he then \u201cacted aggressively, made provocative hand gestures, threatened to call the police, and dared me to post the incident online and \u2018make him jobless\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She called on the mall management to review the CCTV footage and intercom recordings and requested a formal investigation and written response.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"lg:text-28 lg:leading-33.6px pt-md font-primary text-24 font-bold leading-1.2\">Woman confronts security officer at Eastpoint Shopping Centre<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The video begins at the FCC, where the woman confronts the security officer over allegedly calling her \u201cstupid\u201d and refusing to provide his name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She accuses him of speaking rudely, while the officer calls her \u201cyaya\u201d, or cocky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">She then responds: \u201cI yaya? I make sure you don\u2019t have your job leh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The officer replies that he doesn\u2019t care and tells her to go ahead and lodge a complaint, adding that he has \u201cnothing to say\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">When she accuses him of refusing to respond after she went to the Fire Control Centre (FCC), he says he doesn\u2019t know who she is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cYou\u2019re like a joke like that leh,\u201d she responds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The officer adds that he has \u201cthree witnesses\u201d and that their interaction over the intercom was recorded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The original post, which said the incident occurred on July 12 at about 8pm, <a class=\"text-primary-brand no-underline hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Daug6CIRQZ7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has garnered more than 42,000 views and 170 comments<\/a>.

He is just doing his job, there are people who misuse the <a class=\"text-primary-brand no-underline hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/singapore-seen\/creepy-mum-asks-women-leave-nursing-rooms-great-world-and-aperia-mall-after-finding?ref=inline-article-9365613\" target=\"_blank\" data-discover=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">nursing room<\/a>,\u201d said an Instagram user.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Another said: \u201cSecurity officers always get blamed when the job scope is done according by the management requirements. Some people are over-demanding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cThere are rules and requirements to be followed \u2014 that\u2019s what the officer did. Who (does) she think she is, threatening the officer and making accusations? Let\u2019s see what the evidence shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Another sympathised with the officer, saying: \u201cEven at a lowly paid job you get threatened like this. What kind of society is this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cHer heart is no good to ensure he lost his job,\u201d added another netizen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Some netizens also called her a \u201cKaren\u201d and criticised her tone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cTypical Singapore Karen,\u201d said one, while another said: \u201cAunty, you also sound so rude eh. Talk properly also la.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Still, there were others who sided with her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">\u201cThe attitude of the security officer. He seems to not understand that he is in a service industry. A little manners and patience will go a long way,\u201d said one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Stomp has reached out to the original poster for more information and to Eastpoint Shopping Centre for comment.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bg-primary-100 h-px border-0 mt-lg md:mt-xxl\"\/>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-xl rounded-xl border border-primary-100 mt-lg md:mt-xxl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/assets\/stomp-comment-COLiWNMD.png\" alt=\"Stomp Comment\" class=\"absolute -mt-lg -ml-xs w-[203px] md:w-[255px]\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Have something to say?
