A dispute, supposedly over $2 durians, left a man critically hurt after he was stabbed twice on Saturday afternoon.

An argument was triggered when the 46-year-old man asked for a taste sample of the durians at a at Jalan Bukit Merah durian stall, Lianhe Wanbao reported.

A 61-year-old man, believed to be the durian seller, was arrested at the scene.

In an interview with Shin Min Daily News, the victim said that he was standing at the stall when he felt someone stab him from behind.

The force of the stab was so great that one of his rib bones was broken.

According to Shin Min, the man thought he was being robbed and cried out when he felt the force.

However, his attacker ran away as soon as he turned around. He told the Chinese paper that he did not see who his attacker was but believed it was not the owner of the stall who stabbed him.

Bleeding, the man then held on to his open wound and walked about 500m before he managed to get a taxi to take him to the hospital.

As of Sunday, he had undergone surgery and was warded in the Intensive Care Unit at Singapore General Hospital.

Witnesses said that the durian seller appeared calm as he was being led away.

Stall holders at nearby shops also told Shin Min that the he was a regular durian seller who would set up a stall in the area during the fruit's peak season.

Bystanders also told the paper that blood left at the scene was promptly washed away before the police arrived.

So is it the durian seller or not?

The question is why no one bothered to give him a ride. Oh yeah, how could I forget the Sinkie culture of "you die your own problem"?

No only are these Durian-vendors Armed & Dangerous.

Their fruit on display is by itself a dangerous weapon especially if targetted at head or other parts of body.

The police force must charge them for possessing dangerous weapons (knives) and displaying dangerous weapons (durians) in public.

For the benefit of all, may I suggest that NEA come up with rules that allows only the sale of such fruit packed in strofoam packs.

These will also rid our country of itinerant Malaysian durian pedlars who descend daily in their vans in our housing estates and other open areas.

Charity begins at home.

Love us NOT loathe us.

Durian peddlars are mostly gangsters. According to PAP SOP, the durian seller needs to be sent to attend Anger Management Course.

over $2....damned silly. the first thing is to avoid these gangsters and thugs....treating them like a plague! most of them are samsengs and many of them are found in geylang areas. if you quarrel with one, the others will surely join and whack you to pieces.

so if you want to eat, go to FAIRPRICE FINEST SUPERMARKET...cheap, good, reliable, trustworthy and guaranteed !!!

This chap really one cheapskate..

Kena stabbed because of $2 durians..

Then he saved his money further taking a cab to the hospital instead of calling for an Ambulance..

Ambulance driver, paramedic also need to eat leh. Even if they no need to eat, ambulance also need to eat leh. Fair and square. $90 is a fair amount. You would be surprise a lot of people are abusing the SCDF ambulances. Cut finger, also ambulance. That's why there are so many private ambulance services around.

I agree with your statement but wish to state that the sum is far too high for the people to pay.
It was only $25/- at one time
We only have about 4 million plus people here.
In the UK Ambulance conveying people for dialysis treatment (irregardless of distance covered) is FOC.
What would happen if one day, a call for assistance to 999 here for police patrol car may even come with a price-tag.
The Government has to provide some form of free service to the citizens in cases of emergencies.
No one like to be in such painful and life-threatening situations.
Just think about it, please.....
