Don't let the bedbugs bite - at the cinema
Moviegoers claim they have been leaving the Rex Cinema with more than just shivers down their spine - after finding themselves covered in bedbugs.
The Bollywood theatre in Mackenzie Road has admitted to The Straits Times that it has a problem with the bugs - and pest controllers say it may not be the only cinema here to have them.
A group who watched a film at Rex on May 31 told of how they began feeling uncomfortable during the two-hour screening.
Hairstylist Srirutiran Mathivanan, 29, said that his friend's wife began complaining she was "itchy".
When Mr Mathivanan turned on his mobile phone's flashlight, he noticed her hand was swollen - but that was not all.
"I saw many bedbugs at her feet and when I peeled the seat cushion back to look, even more came out," said Mr Mathivanan, who added that he had previously been bitten at the cinema.
His friend Narasinga Rao Vandasan, 26, felt that the incident was "no small matter".
"I sometimes see children going to the cinema. What if they get bitten? Cinemagoers don't want to spread this to their friends and family."
Mr Vandasan said the cinema's management had previously told him that it would clean up the place, but the situation has not improved.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) will be taking enforcement action against Casuarina Curry Restaurant after a Stomper sent in a report of getting severely bitten by bugs after dining there.
Stomper Kaixin said she was dining at the restaurant on Saturday (Jul 25) when the back of her calves felt extremely irritated and itchy.
According to her, angry red spots were forming on her legs -- on the parts that were in contact with the seat.
In an official response by Mr Tony Teo, director of the Environmental Public Health Operations at NEA, the restaurant premises was inspected immediately.
The statement in full read:
"We refer to the STOMP article, “Woman severely bitten by bugs after dining at restaurant” on 30 July 2015.

"We received two feedback concerning bug-infested chairs at Casuarina Curry Restaurant recently and inspected the premises on 20 July and 30 July.
"We are unable to determine what had bitten the customers, although we detected some cockroaches in the crevices of some of the chairs.
"NEA has required the licensee to remove and replace all the affected chairs with new chairs. We have also advised the licensee to engage a pest control operator to rectify the cockroach infestation immediately, and required that their pest control reports be submitted to NEA.

Air India blames weather for bed bugs infestation
Air India is India's biggest international carrier
India's national carrier, Air India, has blamed the weather for a bed bug infestation on one of its recent flights from New York to the western city of Mumbai.
Photos of a few business class passengers bitten by bed bugs were widely shared online in the past week.
Air India has since apologised and ordered an inquiry. It also promised to "rigorously fumigate" the plane.
India's biggest international carrier, the airline is in severe debt.
Adding to its woes, the company has lost market share to new entrants and suffers a bad reputation of having poor service and cancelling flights.
A few years ago, an Air India plane travelling from Mumbai to London was forced to turn back mid-flight after a rat was spotted on board.
Air India: The airline everyone loves to hate
Ayeshea Perera, BBC News Delhi
Air India is often in the news for all the wrong reasons. From rats on flights to clogged toilets to inefficient flight crews, the constantly negative headlines have often led to newspapers declaring the airline a "national shame".
However the truth is slightly more nuanced than that. Of course Air India has had a completely avoidable series of mishaps that have been embarrassing to say the least. However it also boasts one of the most modern fleets in the world, some of the best pilots in the industry, and there have certainly never been any incidents that involve crew members seriously injuring passengers.
In India the overwhelming feeling towards the airline is one of weary affection. Incidents like this are often treated as par for the course, and do not generate scandal in the way you would expect. Besides, that is, one recent incident that had everyone up in arms - the decision to only serve vegetarian food on domestic flights.
Air India apologised one week after passengers who had flown from New York to Mumbai on 17 July complained of being bitten by bed bugs.
Some shared photos in which their arms appeared to be covered in bug bites. Others shared close-up images of their seats, alleging they were infested with bed bugs.
One of India's oldest airlines, Air India has not turned a profit since 2007.
In June 2017, India's cabinet approved plans to privatise the carrier. But it failed to attract buyers after the federal government offered to sell a controlling stake.
Any buyer would have to take on about $5bn (£3.6bn) of debt, which is only about half of what the airline owes.

Bed bugs come from china, not india.
Is Hong Kong on the verge of a major bed bug epidemic? We ask the experts
The number of infestations of the tenacious parasite is on the increase in the city, and one pest control expert believes it’s only a matter of time before things get really serious, as Hong Kong is a paradise for bed bugs
PUBLISHED : Wednesday, 14 June, 2017, 12:30pm
UPDATED : Wednesday, 21 June, 2017, 2:22pm
Waking up several times during the night with itchy skin, Mr and Mrs E (whose names have been withheld) have not had a good night’s sleep in almost a year. They have tried everything from tossing out their belongings – including bedding – replacing the wooden bed with a metal-framed one, and flea bombing their subdivided apartment numerous times. But they still can’t get rid of their unwanted intruders, bed bugs.

They’re getting desperate, because Mrs E is pregnant and due to give birth any day. On a visit to their cramped apartment in Cheung Sha Wan with Francisco Pazos, head technician of pest control company nobedbugs-hk.com, Pazos lifts the blanket and immediately sees the small dark insects crawling on the bed. Many more appear as he moves the mattress.
Judging by the amount of droppings, Pazos estimates there are more than a million bed bugs in the apartment, and classifies the case as an “extreme” infestation. The neighbouring apartments are likely to be crawling in them, he says.
Bed bugs (Cimex hemipterus) feed on blood, are arguably the most irritating household pests, and are indiscriminate lodgers. They can be found in all types of homes, clean or dirty, big or small.
Pazos next takes us to a luxurious, 3,700 sq ft Mid-Levels flat. One of two domestic helpers suspects the critters hitchhiked to Hong Kong with her employer when he returned from a trip to the mainland. The parasites have since spread to all of the bedrooms.
Hong Kong is on the verge of a major bed bug epidemic, Pazos warns. “There are only two types of households in Hong Kong: those who have bed bugs and those who will have bed bugs.”
