A female diner who witnessed the incident said she stumbled upon what she described as a “love nest” after seeing the men getting intimate with women who appeared to be in their 40s. She also claimed that she was approached and harassed, leaving her so uncomfortable that she fled the food court. ## Elderly men seen embracing women in their 40s. The female diner recently recounted her experience on Threads, saying she had visited the food court for dinner over the weekend. She said that most of the patrons appeared to be men aged 60 and above. Some were seen embracing women who looked to be in their 40s, whom she described as full-figured and dressed in eye-catching outfits. She claimed that she was even approached by one of the older men, apparently having mistaken her for a “hostess”. Netizens responded to the post by saying that the food court was relatively normal during weekday lunch hours. However, they claimed that the atmosphere changes drastically on Friday nights and weekends, becoming a gathering spot for “uncles”, with scantily dressed women accompanying them at almost every table. ## Food court packed with alcohol, men accompanied by women A Shin Min Daily News reporter who visited People’s Park Complex encountered an elderly man getting physical with a middle-aged woman, even before entering the food court in question. Upon noticing someone approaching, the man quickly withdrew his hand. The food court was nearly packed at the time, and tables were filled with bottles and glasses of alcohol. Most of the patrons were older men, accompanied by several younger women. The reporter later saw an older man and a woman embracing and kissing passionately near the toilets. Although the kiss lasted only a few seconds, the pair appeared oblivious to their surroundings. ## Shopkeepers say situation apparently ongoing for almost a year Nearby shopkeepers have also witnessed customers groping women and kissing passionately. A shop owner, who declined to be named, shook his head in disapproval as he recounted what was happening in the food court, describing the behaviour as indecent. ![older men embracing kissing groping women People’s Park Complex food court](https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/stomp/e2dc288793a72cc3719b416a9024b00d3f57e417e8e1b6e45ebb110d214f9257) *“Whether they are hugging, cuddling or kissing inside or outside, it doesn’t leave a good impression. It’s not appropriate,” said a nearby shopkeeper.* “Whether they are hugging, cuddling, or kissing inside or outside the food court, it doesn’t leave a good impression. It’s not appropriate,” he said. Another shop owner said the situation had been ongoing for nearly a year. He had occasionally seen men buying drinks for women before behaving intimately with them in public, including groping and kissing. ![older men embracing kissing groping women People’s Park Complex food court](https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/stomp/8947e7b18ca8bff347bd7e81e46079a4837ef838007959720c487120e47729f8) *A man was seen kissing a woman passionately.* Some shopkeepers had also heard of arguments breaking out over jealousy, while one shop owner complained that the food court’s loud music was affecting his business. Some male customers allegedly became so drunk that they lost control of their bladders on their way to the toilets, leaving trails of urine behind them. ## Women say they were invited by ‘ge ge’ to drink with them The Shin Min reporter also posed as a diner and was assigned to share a table with other male customers. It was observed that the women fell into two groups — those who poured drinks and those who occasionally helped with serving but mainly sat with customers to keep them company. At one point, a Vietnamese woman approached several male customers and greeted them warmly, addressing them as “ge ge” — Mandarin for older brother. She said she did not work at the food court regularly but had been called over by one of the men to drink with him. “I treat this as my early shift. After I’m done here, I’ll go for my night shift,” she said. ## Customers say they give women $10 to $20 tips Several male customers described themselves as regulars who dropped by the food court for drinks whenever they had time. “We know they’re here to make a living. We sit down and give them small tips, usually $10 to $20. If they visit several tables in a night, they can earn around $100,” one customer said. During the visit, some women exchanged flirtatious glances with the men, while others kissed customers on the cheek, seemingly to their delight. One woman stood out in a revealing outfit, wearing a short jacket over lace lingerie with only two buttons fastened. However, when asked if they would visit the women at the nightlife venues where they worked later, the male customers declined, saying that it was too expensive. Shopkeepers said there used to be only four or five women accompanying customers for drinks. Over time, more older men began bringing women from outside, and the number had since grown to around 10 to 15. ## Never witnessed such behaviour himself: Food court manager The manager of the food court, who wished to be known only as Huang (transliterated), told Shin Min that the establishment had about seven or eight employees responsible for selling alcohol, all of whom acted professionally. “Our employees are professional. They know what they can and cannot do, and they won’t kiss or embrace customers,” he said. As for the other women who accompanied the men to the food court, Huang said the establishment could only regard them as customers. He added that many older people frequent the Chinatown area, and some tend to speak loudly after drinking. Staff can only advise them to leave when necessary. “After all, we’re running a business here, so we can only accept the situation. As long as they don’t cross the line, there’s not much we can do to stop them,” he said. Regarding reports of intimate interactions between older men and women serving drinks, Huang stressed that he had never witnessed such behaviour himself. He said the customers and women generally sat together to chat and occasionally joke with one another.
