Barefoot man eats durian inside Choa Chu Kang library, 'does not care' when confronted by security
A man was caught eating durian in Choa Chu Kang Public Library at Lot One shopping mall on May 13.
Stomper Jian Wei watched as the man sat barefooted on a chair in the library to eat durian at 8.20pm.
"The smell was very strong, and some people walked away. No one confronted him," he recalled.
"When the librarian came to advise him to leave, he did not listen and continued to eat his durian.
"When the security arrived, he had already finished the whole box. He did not resist but also acted like he did not care. He left after a minute."
A video taken by the Stomper shows the man being confronted by a security officer.
"The security told him to leave the premises, as he is not allowed to eat durian inside the mall," said Jian Wei.
Following a Stomp query, a spokesperson from the National Library Board (NLB) said it is aware of the incident.
The spokesperson added: "Our staff had approached the patron to remind him to adhere to the library's code of conduct, which clearly states that eating is not allowed in the library.
"NLB seeks our patrons' cooperation in ensuring that the libraries, as shared spaces, remain a conducive space for all to enjoy by following good library etiquette.
We also encourage patrons who spot such behaviour to approach any of our staff for assistance."
