According to the reports, the passenger started yelling profanities and mocking the crew member and demanded water after he was denied alcohol.
In a Tiktok video that has garnered thousands of viewers and has gone viral, the man wearing a cap and varsity jacket can be seen yelling at the male airplane crew member after the flight from Bangkok arrived in Singapore on Tuesday.
The man landed in hot water after he was denied alcohol and went on an expletive-ridden rant while the male flight attendant tried to calm the man down and asked him to return to his seat.
“You actually think I’m gonna listen to you? Why you don’t give me f—–g water, you f—–g idiot?” the unidentified passenger yelled.

“Give me water! You think I’m interested in your f—–g law? F— off! I’m gonna push you over!” the passenger shouted, before mimicking the flight crew in a derisive tone.
Amid the incident, another crew eventually handed the passenger a bottle of water, to which he sarcastically said, “After two hours? Wow, thank you so much. That’s really great.”
The post was uploaded on Tiktok with a caption saying, “Wasted all the passengers time for the ground staff security to take him off the plane.”
Following the heated incident, an airline spokesman told the Straits Times in an exclusive interview that the passenger had initially demanded alcohol but he was denied and that he was behaving in an “unruly manner” during meal service.
“After his multiple requests … our cabin crew assessed the situation and politely declined to serve him alcohol to ensure the safety of the other customers,” the representative revealed and added that he did not not comply with safety instructions from the crew and caused a disruption to the other passengers.
The passenger was later removed from the plane by two auxiliary police officers, erupting the cabin in cheers and was given a verbal warning.
“The safety of our customers and staff is always our top priority. SIA apologizes to all customers on board the flight for the inconvenience caused by this incident.” the airline spokesman declared.
