It was also alleged that a friend of the monk came out from a nearby lorry with a four-foot-long stick and attempted to 'cause harm to more people'.
"Gangster monk, fight and throw fist and chair at the deceased family before ritual [sic]. Woman also beat," Chu Pi Ka wrote in the post.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident happened at the void deck of an HDB block in Delta Avenue. When Shin Min contacted the deceased's family, they declined to comment on the incident, saying it was all in the past. The dispute happened shortly before the casket was scheduled to depart for the crematorium, the representative said.
