Others take 1 or 2 but this PRC man runs off with 200 light sticks
STOMPer AngleEyes88 says this Chinese national grabbed and ran off with what looked like 200 light sticks that were placed along Orchard Road for decoration.
She elaborates:
"I took my two daughters to see the Christmas light-up at Orchard Road.
"I noticed a commotion as about 500 people were crowding around what appeared to be a chain of lightsticks created by SingTel for the ZoukOut party.
"These sticks were being neatly rolled out, but upon closer inspection, I realised many of the lightsticks were being taken as they were being laid!
"It was as though a mob of people were stalking the people laying the glowsticks.
"It was nice to see that people were excited, with many making away with 1 or 2 light sticks to keep.
"But this PRC man actually took a whole handful of about 200 lightsticks for himself?
"Is this really necessary?
"Doesn't he know that lightsticks stop glowing after 2 hours?
"1 is OK but 200? Come on."
