The conversation later turned confrontational, with one of the sisters showing the middle finger to a person who was recording the incident. "Please don't shout here, and behave with respect," said Shanmugam to the group, who were seen talking over him.The minister said that the pair then accused him of lying after suggesting that other MPs had seen people who are not residents of that area.
"I was quite unhappy with the disruption they were causing. I pointed to them to behave. I also pointed out to them that they were disrupting the MPS,""They can't, as non-residents, come to MPS and insist that their political discussion take priority over the needs of the waiting residents." Shanmugam said that he eventually spent 30 to 45 minutes to speak with the group to "find some common ground".
