With just a phone in hand, anyone can record acts of misdeeds with just a simple tap, but not everyone's attempt at being a vigilante has sat well with the public.
A man's attempt to shame an elderly woman for not wearing a mask backfired on him after netizens accused him of needlessly provoking her.
In a video uploaded onto Facebook on Wednesday (May 20), a woman was seen hobbling to her personal mobility aid (PMA) at a corner of Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre when the cameraman approached her.
Throughout the minute-long clip, the cameraman could be heard criticising the woman in rapid-fire Hokkien for not wearing a mask. The woman swore back at him and refused to comply, climbing onto her PMA as she did so.
