The New Paper
Monday, May 13, 2013

The brawl had left the Geylang coffee shop in a big mess.

Broken chairs were strewn all over the place and tables - some with bloodstains - were left overturned.

One man is in hospital with slash wounds. Nine others are on the run from the police.

And all because of a simple food order, it seems.

The bloody confrontation between two groups of men - nine on one side and five on the other - occurred yesterday morning.

Mr Allan Chua, 53, said he was shocked at the sight when he arrived at work at 8.30am. His office is next to the coffee shop at the junction of Guillemard Road and Lorong 12 Geylang.

The owner of an F&B and hotel consultancy said: "There were broken beer bottles and dishes.

"There was also a trail of blood."

The coffee shop had been cordoned off and he could not enter his office.

"I waited for more than an hour while the police officers took pictures and evidence," said Mr Chua.

Shin Min Daily News reported that a large group of men arrived at the 24-hour coffee shop at about 6am. A coffeeshop employee said the smaller group arrived about 10 minutes later.

He told the newspaper: "Despite ordering later, the (smaller group) received their dishes first."

This angered the first group, and a fracas broke out, he said.

"They (the larger group) went into the drinks stall and kicked over a shelf holding eight empty beer bottles," said the employee.

"They then picked up chairs and hurled them at the (other group)."

The melee quickly escalated and some even overturned tables to vent their anger. Beer bottles were thrown.


Witnesses said the fight, which lasted about five minutes, attracted a large crowd, reported Shin Min Daily News.

The New Paper understands that all the men involved, except for one, fled before the police arrived.

He had a head injury but did not want to be taken to the hospital.

A police spokesman told TNP they received a call at about 6.30am and an injured man in his 20s was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

No arrests have been made and police investigations are ongoing.

The coffeeshop employee said that both parties were regulars but they did not know each other. He added that he could smell liquor on some of the men.

Mr Chua told TNP that fights would occur in that coffee shop once in a while, but "this was the worst".

His 51-year-old colleague, who declined to be named, said the coffee shop was popular from 4am to 6am.

He said: "There'll be models and singers coming from the Orchard discos."

The coffeeshop owner

He estimated the losses to be about $10,000, reported Shin Min Daily News.

Since it's popular then he will have no problem recovering the $10K.

Useless SPF that as usual hides from real social problems. SPF should set up a police post right in that area if they are interested in stopping such cases. Cars racing at death defying speeds in major traffic roads, rampant prostitution, frequent fights at numerous places and all the SPF can do is send lots of their officers long after the fights. It's a shame that that pervert Ng Porn Gay got away scot free. :cool:

Aiya, a few broken blue plastic chairs n old table tops - loss $10K. Must be inflated prices. Don't know if empty beer bottles got resale value, cos seen the kurang guni men also never collect them along the roads and dustbins. They go for alluminum cans and newspapers.

Was the fight carried out by young punks or older thugs?

Young punks these days fight over the flimsiest of excuses, some of which are even imaginary.

The whole story doesn't make any sense. The group who came first and served later confronted the drink stall.
How did the group which came later get involved? It's not their fault for being served earlier though they came later.

Have to agree with Chon on this. When people are hungry, it becomes worse. Sometimes the food vendor gets it wrong and when pointed out they immediately apologise. Possibly this time. They did not acknowledge the mistake and made the situation worse.

Occasionally see old timers getting very upset when this happens.
