ILLEGAL “TONGKAT ALI” STALLS AT GEYLANG TAKEN DOWN BY POLICE

A video emerged online showing a makeshift “Tongkat Ali” stall at Geylang being taken down by the police.

Some of the goods were seen packed inside a ziplock bag while the “stall” was taken apart, being dismantled.

Even the table was also taken away by the security officers and a policeman who appeared to be from Certis Cisco.

The incident happened at Geylang, although it isn’t clear at which Lorong it occurred.

Onlookers and passers-by could be seen watching on as the makeshift stall was “raided”.
