SINGAPORE — The police on Thursday (June 10) said that they are investigating an incident seen in a viral video where a woman started hitting a gong as her neighbour carried out his Hindu prayer routine.
The police also confirmed with TODAY that a 48-year woman is currently assisting them with investigations.
In the video posted on Wednesday night, Facebook user Livanesh Ramu can be seen ringing a prayer bell outside his home when his neighbour, a woman, appears behind him with a small gong that she begins hitting loudly and repeatedly.
“Like many other Hindus this has been a part of our family’s five-minute, twice-a-week prayer routine. Having lived in this home for more than 20 years we never had any issues,” Mr Livanesh wrote in his post.
When contacted, he told TODAY that the police had reached out to him and he is “coordinating with them at the moment”. He declined to comment further.
President Halimah Yacob also took to Facebook on Thursday to weigh in on racial and religious harmony in Singapore and alluded to recent incidents.
