China hawker couple attacked 3 patrons for taking extra ikan bilis
It all started when STOMPer Julia took a portion of anchovies from a container that was placed outside a hawker stall in Clementi. Before they knew it, the
China hawker couple started punching and hitting her family of three.
Said Julia of what happened (Apr 14):
"A China hawker couple at Food Loft Block 431 Clementi Ave 3 assaulted my family of three all because of some anchovies. This happened around 1pm yesterday.
"One of my photos clearly shows a small table with a container of fried onions and another container of anchovies beside some trays outside the stall. After paying for the noodles, I took a small saucer and placed some anchovies onto it.
"The lady owner started to raise her voice at me saying,
'You Singaporeans who are paying so little money want to have so much of everything'.
"She kept on mumbling and complaining to the crowd and passers-by about me getting the little extra anchovies.
"My point is if they didn't want to give the anchovies away, they should have kept the items inside and out of sight. My husband then took pictures of this woman grumbling and of the noodles. The woman complained to her husband and he came after us and assaulted all three of us.
"We had to run for our dear life and they continued to chase us, kicking and banging on our locked car. The woman even stood in front of our car to stop us from driving away while her husband kicked and slammed the car from behind.
"We rushed to SGH to see the doctor for
my back and head injury sustained from a fall while trying to stop my husband from hitting them.
Both of his eyes were swollen and my
poor son got a blue-black under his right eye. The
medical bill was S$180.00 and all because of some extra anchovies. We also made a police report later at night."
