People do not throw monkey nut shells on the floor of the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel Singapore. According to the hotel's website, the tradition began in the early 1900s when businessmen visiting the hotel would throw the peanut shells on the floor to dispose of them quickly and conveniently. The hotel staff took note of this practice and began providing peanut shells for customers to throw on the floor. Over time, it became a popular pastime and part of the hotel's unique atmosphere.
