A man took to Facebook today to complain about how the placement of a roast pig in a Yishun canteen was insensitive to Muslim diners.

According to the OP, the roast meat stall had placed a large roasted pig on a table reserved for bus drivers.

Another Muslim netizen claimed to frequent the canteen and said the roast pig was not placed close to the Muslim stall at all.

Additionally, they explained that not eating pork was their religious belief and should not be forced onto others.

The netizen saw no problems with the placement of the stalls or the roast pig.

As such, they accused the OP of “stirring shit” with his complaint.
