The Busybody Chicken Rice Auntie Who Thought She Could Play Morality Police
Just when we thought hawker feuds were limited to who stole whose secret chili recipe, along comes Enah Hainanese Chicken Rice’s very own Morality Police, turning her stall into the neighbourhood gossip headquarters.
Picture this: It’s barely three months since former actor Huang Yiliang opened his Old Fisherman seafood stall next door. Instead of minding her own rice and chicken, Auntie Lihua decides she’s got a side hustle in dirt-digging. First she spreads delicious rumours that Huang and his 50-year-old female assistant are having some “improper relationship” (because nothing says scandal like two people napping in an air-conditioned flat during the 2–4pm break, right?). Then she ambushes the poor assistant, secretly recording, drags her to a table, husband looming nearby and posts the interrogation video on her stall’s Facebook and TikTok like it’s breaking news on Channel 8.
“Clarify ah, clarify!” she demands, while her husband apparently plays the strong silent type until he doesn’t.
Fast-forward to Mother’s Day evening, May 10. Things boil over. Lihua and hubbie start yelling to scare away Huang’s customers. Huang yells back (as one does when your queue is being sabotaged). The moment he steps out — thwack — husband clocks him from behind on the right ear. Huang, 64 years old, hits the floor. Ambulance. Hospital. The whole hawker centre watches the drama unfold like it’s free Netflix.
And here’s the cherry on the chicken rice: Lihua later tells reporters, all calm and collected, “We called the police ourselves after the beating.” Ma’am, your husband just cold-cocked a man from behind and you’re flexing that you reported it? That’s not damage control, that’s a participation trophy for being the most extra auntie in Singapore.
Meanwhile, Huang? He’s still at Old Fisherman, business stable, no plans to move. He told his assistant to just ignore the circus next door and keep serving crab bee hoon. Public sympathy? Firmly with the ex-actor who just wanted to sell seafood in peace. Comments sections are lighting up with “boycott the chicken rice stall” and “auntie, focus on your rice lah.”
So yeah, Lihua. You tried to dig dirt, ended up burying your own reputation, and your husband turned a petty rumour mill into an actual police case. Huang might have taken a hit to the ear, but he’s walking away with the last laugh — and probably a few extra customers who came for the drama and stayed for the seafood.
Moral of the story, hawkers of Singapore: stick to your wok. The only thing you should be stirring is your gravy. Everything else just leaves a bad aftertaste. 😂
More action at Doujin Market at Suntec Convention Centre, May 9, 2026. The air was thick with the smell of overpriced keychains, instant ramen, and unhinged fan energy. Enter our caped crusader — sorry, cosplayed crusader — 18-year-old Bosco Chun Ho Wang, decked out in full Yuji Itadori drip from Jujutsu Kaisen, complete with the signature pink hair and that “I’m about to black flash your face” energy.
Then, he spotted an easy target to play hero in the form of Amos Yee. You know, the 27-year-old convicted child sex offender who’d been banned from the con and was apparently just existing in the lobby like the human equivalent of a pop-up ad nobody asked for. Did Bosco call security? File a polite complaint? Nah. This kid went full main character syndrome.
Footage shows him raining punches, kicks, elbows while Amos is crouched on the ground trying to cover up. Then, for the grand finale, Bosco tackles him from behind like it’s the season finale cliffhanger. Bystanders film instead of intervening (classic Singaporean spectator sport). One brave soul eventually pulls the “hero” off. Except that unlike in the world of anime, there is a price to pay to play hero in the real world.
Fast-forward two days and our Jujutsu superstar is in court, charged with assault and public nuisance. He appears via video link from the police division, mum in the background looking like she just found out her son didn’t just skip school for anime. The boy is from China but luckily, there was no dramatic “I did it for the children!” speech.
Meanwhile, Amos Yee? Minor injuries, still breathing, still streaming, still being Amos Yee. I saw him on the Circle Line ending at Dhoby Ghaut. All I can say is, Amos looks gaunt – an easy target for those who want to play hero. Check out my video below. So yeah, Bosco. You tried to play hero. You went full Itadori on a guy the entire internet already despises. And now you’re the one with a criminal record – just like Amos Yee.
Moral of the story, Singapore cosplayers: stick to posing for photos and buying overpriced doujinshi. The only thing you should be beating is the queue for bubble tea. Everything else just leaves you with a court summons and a very awkward conversation with your mother.
And now, for the watermelon groups that are equally busybody with the Palestinian cause or what they believe is the Palestinian cause. Watch my video.
