The man’s particulars were recorded and he was issued a written warning before leaving, however the man later returned after the police left. He would be issued with a S$300 fine, NEA said. In the second case, a man who was sitting on an unsecured chair within a hawker centre at Block 538 Bedok North Street 3 was advised to leave by NEA officers after it was found he was not waiting for any food orders.
