Instead of making a “video with him as a prop and pretending to sell ice cream for him while videoing yourself,” wrote Mr Larry Lai, the admin of the popular Can Eat! Hawker Food Facebook page, he encouraged TikTokers to “Minimally buy $20-$30 from him mah.”

The Facebook post of one man who appealed to TikTokers to stop taking advantage of an elderly ice cream seller at Sim Lim Tower has gone viral.

Mr Boon has a type of license that is no longer issued in the country, allowing him to sell ice cream anywhere, Mr Lai explained, adding, “If Boon die then there will only be 7 of them left in Singapore.”Many ask me why don’t he sell elsewhere. He wanted to sell in Orchard Road. Any of you guys gonna cycle for him from his house in Geylang Bahru for him? And back.

“He feels it is unethical to go compete for customers. How many of you can be so noble. In a cut throat world, such gentlemanly behaviour is rare,” Mr Lai added.
