A five-second video shared on the SingaporeSpeaks subreddit on May 6 shows Huang engaged in a heated argument with a woman in red.
Standing in front of their respective stalls at Circuit Road Hawker Centre, the pair pointed fingers at each other and exchanged insults in Hokkien. He could be heard calling his neighbour an ‘embarrassing person’, followed by an expletive.
Recently opened in February, Huang’s stall Old Fisherman sells seafood dishes, including stir-fried crab.
When Stomp made a late-morning visit to the hawker centre on May 7, the 64-year-old had yet to open his stall for the day, while the neighbouring Hainanese chicken rice stall was already operating.
