Viral! Man Buys Live Fish Worth Rp4.5 Million in Supermarket, Then Releases Them in the River: Suspected to be Performing a Ritual

As seen in the viral video shared by the Instagram account @zaobaosg from Singapore, in the video, a man can be seen descending the stairs on the riverbank with murky water.

The following is the translation of the text from 'Bahasa' to 'English' while preserving the html tags: "The man in a white t-shirt and blue shorts was seen carefully descending the stairs. The problem is, the man walked down the stairs while carrying a styrofoam box on his shoulder."

After arriving at the riverbank, the man turned the styrofoam box upside down onto the water surface. Apparently, the man was releasing a box full of fish into the river.

The action of the man releasing a box full of fish was recorded by a resident with the surname Lu. At that time, he was strolling in the park and saw the man going up and down the stairs on the riverbank. When seen up close, it turned out that the man was releasing more than 30 fish into the river.

While according to the employees of Sheng Siong Supermarket, the man came to the store and bought all the live fish available on display. They said that the man bought more than 30 live fish, including 10 white snappers and red tilapia.

If totaled, then the price of live fish purchased by the man reached 400 Singapore dollars or equivalent to Rp4.5 million. However, the Sheng Siong employee does not know the reason why the man bought the live fish displayed in his store.

What is clear is that he only asked one of his friends to bring the live fish. However, the friend told a story, when they arrived at a river near the park, the man stopped.

That's when the new friend realized that the man was about to release all the fish he had bought.

The action of the man releasing the fish he bought for Rp4.5 million caught the attention of netizens. Many felt sorry for the man's action of throwing the live fish into the river just like that.

Some speculate that the man is carrying out one of the traditions in the Buddhist religion called Fang Sheng. Fish are released into the river so that they can continue their lives and reproduce, as well as benefit the environment.
