NO short pants on the streets!

A sexagenarian has been heading to the streets and caning women who wear short pants.

The woman has been seen loitering at the market and hawker centre near some flats in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore.

Holding a rotan in her hands, the woman would cane any female in short pants that she came across.

The republic's Lianhe Wanbao reported that the sexagenarian would also scold the women as she caned them.

"Why are you wearing shorts? You must be caned for wearing this," she said in Hokkien.

On Thursday, the woman has raised her rotan on a hawker.

The hawker, who was annoyed by the old woman's act, had attempted to stop her but was still whipped.

Her mother saw this and went to her aid. The mother and daughter managed to stop the old woman and forced her onto the ground.

They called the police later.
