A diner has voiced his frustration after seeing bicycles placed beside tables at a hawker centre where a group of cyclists had visited. The incident reportedly took place at Margaret Drive Hawker Centre on June 1.
In a post on Facebook page Complaint Singapore on Monday (June 1), the diner claimed that the group occupied additional seating areas by placing their bicycles next to those tables. This group of cyclists is not only dining at the hawker centre but also hogging other seats by putting their bicycles inside, preventing others from using the tables. Young and energetic, but brainless, wrote the poster.
Under the comments section, several netizens raised concerns over the use of bicycles within hawker centres while others defended the cyclists' actions. Classic inconsiderate act regardless of whether the hawker centre is full or empty. Bicycles are not meant to be inside hawker centres. Brainless act, wrote one user.
I was there this morning, their bikes were initially all parked outside and were only brought in when there was a sudden downpour. The few bikes were inside for only about 15 minutes and did not affect anyone, commented another. Another netizen suggested that clearer guidelines may be needed, saying National Environment Agency (NEA) should put up an advisory note for cyclists. It's just common courtesy to respect other diners and establishments.
Several netizens pointed out that the cyclists may have been trying to find shelter from the rain, and that their actions were not malicious. However, the incident has sparked a debate over the use of bicycles within hawker centres, with some calling for clearer guidelines and others defending the cyclists' actions.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) has not issued any statement on the matter, but the incident has raised awareness about the need for more consideration and respect for other diners and establishments
