On Thursday (25 April), a member of the Complaint Singapore Facebook page shared a video of the heartwarming ‘theft’ with the caption “Blessing with stealing”.

The clip can be traced back to 2022, as indicated by the timestamp at the top of the video.

In the video, a man in a turquoise shirt can be seen walking along an HDB corridor before stopping at a small altar.

He reaches over to grab what appears to be a fruit, raising it to his lips as a sign of respect.

He returns minutes later, this time placing his hands together and praying to the altar before taking more fruits.

It is unclear why the man decided to ‘steal’ the fruits in the first place.

Others pointed out that the man did a good deed by not wasting the fruit.
