Father, 40, brings daughter to encourage Roxy Square wanton mee uncle to interact with young kids again
Wholesome.
A 40-year-old father expressed his support for a 73-year-old wanton noodle stall owner who sustained a back injury after being forcefully restrained by a customer at Roxy Square coffee shop. Jo Ng, a customer of the coffee shop for over four decades, brought his one-year-old daughter to the stall to encourage Yeo Song Khoon to interact with young children again.
When asked if he would pat his daughter's head, Yeo humorously declined, then proceeded to do so and took photos with them. Despite experiencing lingering back pain, Yeo expressed that he was managing well. Ng conveyed his gratitude for observing that Yeo remained untraumatized by the incident and continued to interact with children.
Two mothers also visited the stall during the coverage, bringing young daughters and even a "Get Well Soon" balloon for Yeo. The incident was initially reported on August 15 via Bei-Ing Wanton Noodle's Facebook and Instagram pages, with CCTV footage capturing the altercation where Yeo was shoved to the ground after patting a young girl on the head.
Yeo, a wanton noodle vendor for over four decades, sustained a fractured back from the incident, a detail his family confirmed. As of August 21, Yeo was taking painkillers for his back, and his family stated that whether or not he undergoes surgery is ultimately his decision.
