When a fishball noodle seller in Punggol noticed a CCTV camera purportedly aimed at her stall, she decided to use a broom to shift the camera away. This led to a spat with a neighbouring chicken rice hawker who had installed the camera. The altercation occurred at a coffee shop located at Block 639 Punggol Drive at around 10pm last Saturday (April 20), reported Shin Min Daily News. The 35-year-old chicken rice hawker surnamed Zou told the Chinese evening daily that he was checking the camera feed of his stall that day when he noticed that the camera angle had changed.

The hawker then decided to head down to his stall himself to re-angle the camera lens.
