Yeo Song Khoon Shoved to Ground After Patting Young Girl's Head at Singapore Food Court

Police in Singapore are investigating an incident where Yeo Song Khoon, a 73-year-old hawker, was allegedly shoved to the ground by a 40-year-old man. The altercation occurred at a food court in Roxy Square mall after Yeo Song Khoon briefly reached out to pat a young girl on the head, describing her as "very adorable." The girl's father became agitated and confronted Yeo Song Khoon, eventually pushing him to the ground. While Yeo Song Khoon expressed a desire to let the matter go to avoid causing trouble, his family lodged a police report to highlight the severity of the fall. Yeo Song Khoon has suffered from severe back pain and a swollen head following the incident. His son, Ray Yeo, noted that Yeo Song Khoon's stubbornness often leads him to return to work despite injuries. The family announced that the Roxy Square outlet of Bei-Ing Wanton Noodle, owned by Yeo Song Khoon, will remain closed until August 20 to allow for his recovery. Police have urged the public not to speculate while investigations continue.
