A Facebook post by Mr Niven Leong, the man behind Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice, went viral on June 11.

In his post, the 64-year-old recounted an incident involving rude and self-entitled customers who demanded to be served despite the stall selling out of chicken rice .“However, there were others who showed their self-entitled side that since we had put in the operating hours, we had to adhere strictly to it at their beckoning and not supposed to sell out until the final minute of the advertised time and wait for them to decide whether to come or not.

Though the stall had closed for the day, several groups of long-time customers approached, hoping to snag a plate of his famed chicken rice. “I understand. Being a hawker, I have to bear with it. But you don’t scold my worker – you want to scold, you scold me.”"They simply wanted a piece of the action for fear of losing out to those who have had it," he lamented, highlighting how these customers seemed more focused on being part of a trend than appreciating the effort behind his food.Mr Leong added that there was a lack of respect for the hard work and dedication inherent in the hawker trade.
