An elderly personal mobility aid (PMA) user selling tissues outside a temple in Bugis has been accused of terrorising fellow tissue sellers and residents of the area. One of the tissue sellers, surnamed Hong, told Shin Min Daily News that he has been bullied by the «hot-tempered» and «notorious» man several times over the past year. The 84-year-old claimed that the PMA user would verbally abuse the other tissue sellers outside the popular Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple. The man often occupies the area near the exit of the temple, which has high footfall, and would supposedly scold others who get in his way. «He treats the entire street as his own territory,» said Hong. When a Shin Min reporter visited the temple, many said they recognised the PMA user and knew of his ferocious temper. Another tissue seller, 80, said she has seen the man throwing away items at the temple exit that belonged to others. Hence, she dares not approach the temple and can only sell tissues at one corner.
