A video is circulating in Whatsapp of a man that has been pinned down at a coffeeshop at Telok Banglah Crescent Coffeeshop (Chang Cheng Mee Wah).
According to a netizen, the man always loiters in the area and he is not mentally sound.
” Telok Blangah Crescent market. This man is not mentally sound always loitering around without mask. “
The incident happened at Yishun
Heard cases of ppl being investigated for defying the enforcers. I almost become someone being investigated for the same offence. Tis is wat happened.
Earlier, at my stall. Face mask on. The heat was unbearable with the satay. Saw a group of three (one male two female) coming towards the coffeeshop.
I turned Ard, took a towel, pulled down the mask to my chin, wiped my face wif the towel and took a sip of drink. Wash my hand and Pulled the face mask back on. Continue to do my satay.
Suddenly, one of the female from the group came to my stall. I saw the pass she was wearing. An enforcer.
Enforcer : Saw u wif your face mask down to ur chin. Must cover the nose and mouth at all times in the stall.
Me: Sorry ma’am, I wiped my face and took a drink. Tats why I pulled down the mask
Enforcer: I don’t care, not my problem. Must cover mouth and nose at all times.
Whilst talking, my face mask drop down from my nose. ( I’m fat, surely my face big)
Enforcer: See now ur face mask not proper
Me: Ok
( Pull up my mask up to cover my nose and continue wif my work).
I agree that u are given the authority. I respect the authority given to u. But please dun be arrogant becos of the authority. Please learn to be tactful when approaching ppl. Dun need for u to be rude unless u can tell me how I can wipe my face and drink wif my mask on.
I’m wondering whether the persons being investigated for defying the enforcers were treated the same as me and got defensive.
🤔🤔
Btw, stay safe everyone. Stay indoors and keep u mask on when outdoors.

Received a large order today, turns out to be a scam.
“Unexpectedly, when the food is delivered to the home in the vicinity of Red Hill, the owner said that he did not order, and the number of the person who ordered the meal could not be reached. I thought that the wrong address was sent at the beginning. “
The poor owner of the address has been getting harassed for the longest time.
To all fellow delivery personnel and hawkers, from today onwards please ask for payment first before delivering. (We did not do so as some customer prefer COD or do not have paynow/paylah) But lesson learnt.
