A dispute between neighbours escalated really quickly when one man stabbed another for tossing piping hot fishball noodle soup at his face. The bizarre altercation started when 59-year-old Kho Ah Yeow confronted his neighbour Bounty Gill, also 59, along the corridor at their Jalan Bukit Merah HDB block in the afternoon of Jun 25 last year.
Kho demanded answers about why Gill had knocked on his door so many times in the morning, to which the latter denied doing anything of the sort, Channel NewsAsia reports. The argument quickly got louder, prompting their neighbour — 56-year-old Ismail Bin Idris — to call the police.
