Viral Video: Singaporean Bikers Refused to Stop Smoking at Petrol Station

  • A video showed Singaporean bikers smoking at a Petron station at the Pagoh R&R.

  • According to the person who posted the video, he had told them to stop smoking.

  • However, the group retorted that he couldn’t do anything against them.

  • But equally worse were Petron and PLUS workers not wanting to assist.

A viral video surfaced in which a group of Singaporean bikers refused to stop smoking at petrol station despite being told to. The incident took place at the Petron station at the Pagoh R&R.

In the video, a biker was seen smoking in the petrol station’s compound directly beneath a “No smoking” sign. The person who posted the video went by his Facebook account name as Thiagarajah Nesan. According to him, he had admonished the group for smoking in a petrol station but was told the group retorted that Thiagarajah could not do anything against them and continued with their dangerous act.


But what happened next was equally shocking.

Thiagarajah informed the workers at the station, but they told him that the manager was away at the time and it was not their responsibility.

Failing to raise any concern with the station staff, Thiagarajah reported the incident to PLUS workers. The PLUS workers also told him that they could not do a thing about it. However, they suggested that Thiagarajah video the offence and share it on Facebook.

Now, the surely the bikers know that smoking at a petrol station is dangerous. But Petron and PLUS should also answer for their workers’ “inability” to act. The government was serious in fining smokers at eateries and prohibited areas, but why couldn’t anyone act against these miscreants?
