Young people truly don’t learn.
After three teenagers were caught by the police for spitting at lift buttons, you would’ve thought they knew that spitting is taboo.
At least right now where Covid-19 could be waiting just around the corner.

Right?
These three teenagers seemed like they didn’t get the memo.
Teenagers Filmed Spitting From Fourth Floor Of Shopping Mall
On 5 Mar, a boy in a black t-shirt was filmed spitting over a railing in a mall.
There was another teenager with him wearing a white t-shirt.
A girl could be heard laughing in the background, and she was presumed to be the one doing the recording.
When this video went viral, it wasn’t known whether this really happened in Singapore.
Well, now, we know.

He claimed to be one of the teenagers and said they went down to clean up their mess after.

However, when Mothership checked with Subway, the staff at the outlet were not aware of any apologies.
Especially Sensitive During These Trying Times
Now, in case you’re:
- a teenager
- you think this is cool
- and you’re thinking of trying this to catch the girl of your dreams
Don’t.
Even when there are no Covid-19 outbreaks, spitting in public is a hygiene concern which can net you a fine.
Today, at this juncture where Singapore is battling against an extremely infectious virus, which is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets (read: liquid from you when you sneeze or cough)?
You know the consequences are going to be even worse.

The Singapore Police Force also said that they are taking this seriously, especially due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Singapore.
Would you be jailed for being half-naked in public? Well, the answer will shock you. Seriously. Watch this to the end and you'll understand:
