Annoyed after being unwillingly roused from his sleep on a public bench on Sunday night, he punched an elderly security guard in the face, the Union of Security Employees shared in a post on Facebook on Thursday.
Kwek approached the man once more to wake him and inform him of his misdeed, but this time the man got agitated and dished out expletives at the elderly security personnel. Two restaurant employees went to assist Kwek, simultaneously restraining the aggressor and contacting police.From images uploaded to USE's Facebook post, multiple lacerations can be seen around one of Kwek's eyes with very visible swelling and bruising.
A USE spokesperson stated: "USE would like to state that our officers are deployed to protect lives and properties. They are executing their duties as provided for under the Private Security Industry Act."
