Macam Macam.... Singaporean assaulted by staff after trying to order thosai By YEE XIANG YUN [email protected] JOHOR BARU: A craving for his regular thosai turned ugly for a 51-year-old Singaporean when he was assaulted by a waiter who had refused to take his order earlier. Instead of fulfilling his appetite, N. Chandran ended up getting bruises on his face and neck following the brawl with the waiter outside the restaurant near Jalan Ungku Puan here. Recalling Tuesday’s incident, Chandran, who works as a crane operator in the republic, said that he went to his favourite restaurant for lunch alone at about 12.10pm. “When I reached the restaurant, I went straight into the kitchen and enquired with one of the helpers whether thosai was available for lunch. “The helper said yes, suggesting that I make my order at the counter,” he said. Chandran, a regular at the restaurant for the past four years, then approached a restaurant staff, who was manning the apom counter, and placed an order for thosai. “However, I was told that there was no more thosai. “I asked him to check with the kitchen before refusing to take my order. “Instead, he (the apom maker) told me to leave the restaurant,” Chandran said, adding that the staff got angry when he questioned him, leading to him being pulled and punched in the face. Chandran said although the restaurant was packed, no one came to his aid, not even the manager. The manager, when asked yesterday about the incident, said thosai had been sold out by noon that day. “However, he (Chandran) started creating a ruckus and began hurling vulgarities at my staff at the apom counter,” he claimed. He said Chandran also toppled one of the apom woks, prompting the fight. A police official from the Johor Baru South police station confirmed that a report had been lodged and that investigations were being conducted. thestar.my/news/story.asp?file=/2013/6/17/nation/13249054&sec=nation
