Some Suntec City visitors recently discovered that the Rest N Go massage chairs in the mall were infested with bedbugs.

Two people reported on separate occasions that the chairs, located next to Crawfurd Medical, were bedbug-ridden.

On May 14, Stomper Pilot shared that his girlfriend was bitten by bedbugs after using one of the chairs. 

“She says the bitten area feels cramped, but the welts are gone,” he said. 

“The mall has already roped it off and sprayed it.”

However, a Facebook post made on May 15 detailed a similar experience. 

“Sat on one that came with a really bad infestation yesterday, and it was hell,” the post reads. 

“The bite swell has mostly subsided, but my arm muscles cramp every now and then, and it hurts.”

 “Hygiene serves as the most important aspect in ensuring customers’ comfortable experience, therefore pest control services have been consistently engaged by us, to ensure a pest-free environment not only in this case, but across all our locations.”

Stomp has reached out to Suntec City for more information.
