A loving father

The deceased had been riding motorcycles for 20 years and had always been a careful rider when he rode with his children, however his brother said that despite this, accidents can still happen as he appealed to the public for witnesses and footage to help the police investigations.

The weekend at Hong Lim Complex took an unexpected turn when a dispute unfolded at Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff Original, at Hong Lim Complex.

What seems like a trivial incident has deep roots in a longstanding family feud, adding layers of complexity to the situation.

The Curry Puff Stall Altercation

According to Shin Min Daily News, the altercation occurred last Sunday morning, with the elderly man allegedly taking photos of the stall.

The owner of the stall, 57-year-old Peter Ng, told SMDN that he had seen the elderly man walking around outside their stall and appeared to be photographing their stall.

Mr. Ng’s attempt to inspect the man’s phone led to a scuffle, prompting a police report and medical attention.

Ng approached the man and asked to check his phone, to which the latter refused, before his fiancee stepped in and tried to grab the phone from the elderly man and a scuffle ensued.

Both parties ended up getting injured, with Ng’s fiancee and the elderly man suffering scratches in the process.

Ng then called the police to the scene, and the police force confirmed that they have also received a police report.

Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff Original, a corner unit at Hong Lim Complex, has faced scrutiny from the Singapore Food Agency recently, being accused of not wearing masks during food preparation.

This incident follows a previous occurrence where the same elderly man was suspected of taking photos, raising concerns about potential complaints.

Family Feud: Origins and Intensity

The proximity of Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff (without the “original”), run by Mr. Ng’s younger brother Ray Ng, adds fuel to the family feud. The rivalry between the brothers is exacerbated by the closeness of their stalls, leading to suspicions that the elderly man’s actions are connected to the family discord, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The roots of the family feud trace back to their father’s decision to retire and split the business between the brothers. Conflicting narratives emerge, with each brother blaming the other for the split. Mr. Peter Ng suggests his brother’s unwillingness to return the original stall led to the second stall’s opening, intensifying the rivalry.

Ng Family’s Perspectives

Differing views on the business split and allegations against Mr. Peter Ng’s fiancée complicate the family dynamics.

The father, Ng Yong Cheong, adds another layer by suggesting that the fiancée caused problems and even led to his hospitalization. Ms. Yang, the fiancée, counters these claims, asserting unfair treatment and mistreatment at the hands of the patriarch.

Complications and Hospitalization

The family issues take a toll on Ng Yong Cheong, leading to hospitalization. Ms. Yang’s confrontation with the patriarch reveals deeper conflicts, including accusations of misreatment and being labeled a “mistress.” The complexities of family relationships intertwine with the curry puff business, impacting both personal and professional aspects.

In the quiet vicinity of Geylang Lorong 25, a Sunday night took a horrific turn. On November 12th, at 8:13 PM, a bald man was seen wielding a knife and attacking a long-haired woman, according to Lianhe Zaobao.

What transpired next was an unexpected twist involving a heroic kick, a knife wound to the abdomen, and a flow of blood that shocked witnesses.

Eyewitness Account: The Tale of a Heroic Kick

Li Kui, a 49-year-old electrician, was at an ATM, withdrawing money when he witnessed the entire incident. He recalls, “A woman in a black-and-white striped dress came running out of Lorong 25, screaming. She was being pursued by a bald man brandishing a knife, a truly frightening sight.”

In a tense moment, the bald man caught up with the woman near the ATM, grabbing her long hair with one hand and raising a fruit knife with the other. Luckily, a bystander intervened just in time.

“At the critical moment, a kind-hearted man leapt from behind, executing a flying kick that struck the bald man’s shoulder. This caused him to lose balance, allowing the long-haired woman to escape the imminent danger.”

The Unexpected Consequence: A Knife to the Abdomen

As the long-haired woman fled, the heroic man attempted to subdue the bald attacker. However, in the ensuing struggle, the bald man managed to stab the hero in the right abdomen. Blood splattered on the ground, creating a gruesome scene.

Li Kui expressed relief that another man in red, witnessing the perilous situation from across the street, rushed to help. Together, they restrained the bald man, seizing the weapon. The wounded hero, bleeding profusely, reassured everyone that he was okay.

Background: Love Turned Sour

Investigations revealed that the bald man and the long-haired woman shared the same residence, though in different rooms.

The bald man had previously pursued the woman romantically, but she perceived it as harassment. It is believed that the attack was driven by a resentful heart, a result of unrequited love. Interestingly, the long-haired woman and the injured hero were acquaintances and friends.

The police, when questioned, confirmed a 46-year-old man was injured, and a 32-year-old man was arrested for intentionally causing harm with a dangerous weapon. The injured man was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, while the 32-year-old sustained minor injuries but refused medical attention.

The assailant further muttered, “I knelt down and begged her, but she wouldn’t cooperate.”
