Chinese-speaking women ‘punch, spit at’ Singaporean man in fight that sparks outcry

A face-slapping, expletive-laced fight involving two Chinese-speaking women and a Singaporean man triggered outcry among internet users in the city-state after a series of video clips showed the dispute in detail.

When he approaches one of the women, wearing a chequered dress, she says: “Go away, go away! I am looking at your ugly face, I feel disgusting [sic].”

The argument escalates when he refuses to leave and she says, “F*** you.” He is heard replying, “You wish, right?”

Incensed, the women, who switch between English and Putonghua with a mainland Chinese accent, proceed to hurl vulgarities and a beverage at him. They also lunge over the counter to punch and slap the man several times.

It was unclear what initially caused the incident. But at one point in the video, the woman demands that the man provide her an access card to the building and threatens to tell the police that he had hit her first.
