In the second such case in four days, another group of people were spotted in a gathering, this time at a Marine Parade carpark, allegedly to gamble illegally.

Chinese-language newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday that about 25 men were seen at a carpark at Block 57 Marine Parade Road allegedly betting.

Several were standing in small groups while others sat around. Most were holding their mobile phones and believed to be watching a video clip.

Shin Min also reported that there were beer bottles and food items next to them, and most did not maintain a safe distance of 1m from one another.

A resident who wanted to be known only as Miss Guo, told Shin Min the gathering takes place at least three days a week.

She said: “There will be a bigger group on Wednesdays and during the weekends. And they will be watching videos of horse racing or football matches with the volume turned up loud.”

A cleaner, who wanted to be known only as Mr Zhuo, said the group would sometimes appear at 1pm and stay for at least four hours.

The authorities should put a stop to this, he added.
