According to Shin Min Daily News on Tuesday (May 23), it is a scene that's familiar to those working around Blk 178 Toa Payoh Central for the past two years. A fruit seller in the area also shared with Shin Min that the uncle is a "celebrity" in the area, especially among stallholders. [[nid:602395]]A clinic assistant nearby told Shin Min reporters that every once in a while, they would receive requests to "save" the uncle. Another vendor shared that the man's behaviour has also wasted public resources, due to the multiple calls put out to the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). A Shin Min reporter who went down to the area on Monday (May 22) afternoon, however, did not manage to catch a glimpse of the uncle.
