SINGAPORE — Ms Rohani was going about her shift when she saw a man wearing only a pair of shorts suddenly take out a kitchen knife and stab himself.
The man had been sitting on the floor at Sun Plaza mall in Sembawang, outside food stalls Stuff'd and Hugabo on level one, she said, declining to give her full name.
"I was shocked," the crew manager at McDonald's fast-food restaurant added. She estimated that the incident happened at around 1.50pm on Monday (Jan 15).
After the stabbing happened, a middle-aged man quickly kicked aside the knife, while bystanders called the police and the mall's security personnel.
A shopper who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan said: "It's so shocking such a thing happened in the mall; these sort of things don't usually happen in Singapore."

The police told TODAY that they responded to a call for assistance at about 2.05pm.
"Upon the police's arrival, officers found a 67-year-old male lying unconscious with injuries, which were believed to be self-inflicted," they said.
"He was subsequently conveyed to the hospital and is currently undergoing treatment."
Investigations are ongoing, they added.
When TODAY arrived at the scene at 4pm, several police officers were seen clearing up the tape used to cordon off the area as a cleaner mopped up blood.
TODAY also spotted a box labelled "knife" and a roughly 15cm-long item wrapped up on top of the box.

A 40-year-old employee at a nearby food stall who gave her name as just Ms Tan said that she saw the shirtless man standing around and found it odd.
"You can't help but notice because why was someone half-naked in a mall."
The man did not say anything before stabbing himself, Ms Tan added.
"There were many people standing around. When the police came, they blocked off the whole area."
Several shopkeepers in the mall were not aware of the incident when it unfolded, only learning about it from curious customers who asked them what had happened.
One who was in a clothing store on the same floor and who declined to be named said: "Everyone's been asking but because I was in the store, I didn't notice anything except a few police officers walking by."
