One clip taken by Zeinsg showed empty plastic cups lining a walkway. And over at a nearby hawker centre and coffeeshop, the scene was similarly dismal, with floors littered with plastic material and bottles.

Zeinsg acknowledged in the video that while even the cleanest of cities would not be able to completely eradicate hygiene issues, the state of Singapore's Chinatown has left him feeling dismayed.He explained that Chinatowns around the world are a "window to China", and is an area of great importance, especially for homesick Chinese immigrants.

Zeinsg, who mentioned having stayed in the US for a period of time, added his observation that Chinatowns in cities such as Manhattan and Queens in New York have also fallen into the same dirty predicament. He added that he would often eat in Singapore's Chinatown with friends as the food there is often the most authentic, outside of China."I can only say to everyone who's outside of their country, please mind your behaviour."

In the comments to the video, many viewers seemed shocked by the depressing state of Singapore's Chinatown, but the comments quickly turned into a blame game of who should be held responsible.
