A woman complained that a seller had overpriced nasi lemak at RM12, which she was charged for after ordering without realising the price. She was assaulted, she says, by the stall owner in Johor Bahru. The stall owner, furious that the client refuses to pay threw her down and rained blows on her.
The incident in Skudai, on the morning of Oct. 10 was reported by local media with pictures showing wounds on the woman’s head. The lady, surnamed Huang, said she had headed to a hawker centre with her elder sister and three nephews to buy food but after hearing the price she refused to eat or pay. The food was not worth the price.
According to the same media, a passer-by however told them that the nasi lemak price was low because the stall owner would have quoted them RM15 (S$4.63).
