A recent incident at a local mamak restaurant has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, leaving netizens both shocked and bewildered.
The moment, shared on TikTok by user @ragu8821, shows an elderly man engaging in an unusual and unhygienic act while dining. In the video, the man, seated at a table with his wife, casually placed his left foot on the table next to his meal while engrossed in his phone.
Adding to the surprise, the man's wife, sitting across from him, appeared unbothered by his actions, continuing to eat her food without reacting to the inappropriate behaviour.
The TikTok user captioned the post with a blunt remark: "Stupid people a place to eat is for eating, not to put your feet on the table," reflecting the outrage many felt upon seeing the clip.
The video sparked heated discussions online, with many condemning the man's actions as disrespectful and unhygienic. Some users suggested that the restaurant staff should have intervened to address the behaviour. Others speculated that such habits might stem from personal practices that have inadvertently carried over into public spaces.
