Footage of Mother Allowing a Boy to Pee at Plants in Gardens by the Bay Triggered S’poreans

As a man with urinal needs, I understand it perfectly.

That urge. That feeling.

The golden shower.

Yes, the bladder need that haunts us all.

But even so, we must understand that there’s a time and place for everything. Not using your bike in Professor Oak’s laboratory is one…

And not peeing at plants in public spaces is definitely another.

Footage of Mother Allowing a Boy to Pee at Plants in Gardens by the Bay

On 18 July, a Reddit user started a thread with the accompanying caption “mainland chinese kid pissing into the plants at gardens by the bay, where i work ??” as well as an embed video that shows just that:

A boy letting it go into a couple of plants.

In the video clip, the child can be seen urinating into some plants at the tourist attraction, as the adults around him looked on.

A woman then helped the child pull up his pants before he went off.

They could be heard conversing in Mandarin in the video, but it’s unclear if they’re Chinese tourists.

You can watch the video clip here.

Netizens react

After the video was made public, Netizens reacted.

And it was in no way positive, lest you’re wondering.

Although there was one Netizen who was keen to point out the difference between a negligent mother and child, and a negligent PRC and child.

And the defendant didn’t stop there.

Do you think that the user made a valid point here? Tell us in the comments section!

No urinating

Since the revelation, a Gardens by the Bay spokesperson has since spoken out, telling AsiaOne that the incident did take place on its premises.

She added: “Urinating in public is an offence and we would like to remind visitors that there are toilets conveniently located around the Gardens that they can access.”

Well, I guess latrine points over at Gardens by the Bay are a no-go then.

Jokes aside, let’s all remember that Singapore’s a place with laws. As such, all toilet business, whether it’s the no.1 or no.2, should be done in legal places.

And so, really, let’s try to hold onto the nearest toilet, folks, and avoid making a mess in public places. After all…

We wouldn’t like it if someone else came along and urinated on our bed of roses either, would we?
