Kissing or heavy petting barred in Singapore mall

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 26 (ANI): A shopping mall in Singapore has put up notices banning couples from getting cozy and kissing in the rest area.

According to Nanyang Siang Pau, the notices were placed on the second to fourth levels of the rest area in Mandarin Gallery, urging shoppers not to eat, sleep or engage in intimate acts.

The mall management took action following complaints from shop owners on shoppers occupying the sofa in the rest area for a long time and couples behaving intimately.

A salesperson for female apparel, who wished to be known as Yap, said she once saw a girl sitting on her boyfriend's lap and they started caressing one another in the eyes of the public.

"Some couples were also spotted kissing in public and such behaviour will tarnish the image of the mall selling branded goods," the Star Online quoted her as teling Nanyang Siang Pau. (ANI)
