If you are a Singaporean, no need to look at this!
If you have ever been to Singapore; or have yet to come and visit Singapore; then;
Do take note that when one sees a packet of tissue paper on a vacant dining table or several packets of tissue paper infront of each seat; the tissue paper(s) are not FREE!
It simply means that someone has "reserved" the seat! So don't ever take that "vacant" seat! Nor think that that tissue paper packet is FREE!

Just like we thought: putting tissue packets on a table is a sign that someone’s planning to sit there soon…
Check out these photos! This group is using umbrellas for the exact same thing!
