In the early hours of Tuesday (29 Aug), a user posted the video on Facebook, claiming that the incident happened at Kinderland Preschool @ Choa Chu Kang Sunshine Plaza.
The 19-second clip showed a lady in a blue top and striped pants sitting with several kids surrounding her, including a boy holding a blue water bottle.

At about the five-second mark, the lady forcibly opened the bottle’s cap and shouted “drink” in Mandarin at the boy.
As the boy wrapped his mouth around the bottle’s straw, the lady raised both hands and started patting his head, as if to shoo him away.
Thankfully, the boy did not appear hurt by her actions and slowly walked away with the bottle in hand.
The boy was seen standing at a nearby table for the remainder of the video, staring at the lady.
