A chicken rice stall employee chased and threatened his boss with a knife after a disagreement over wages.
The incident occurred at about 7.50pm on Friday (20 Sept) at Whampoa Makan Place.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the stall owner’s wife claimed the pair fought over wages.
CCTV footage showed the two men conversing at a table near the stall.
Without warning, the employee stood up and began waving his fist.
The stall owner subsequently got up to defend himself from the employee’s strikes.
The pair wrestled for a bit before the employee retrieved a knife from the kitchen.
Seeing the knife, the stall owner fled into the food centre. Still holding the knife, the employee gave chase but later returned to the stall.

In response to MS News’ queries, the police said they arrested two men, aged 54 and 62, in relation to the case.
Both men were arrested for affray. The older man is also under investigation for criminal intimidation.
Police investigations are ongoing.
