NEA suspends Newton hawker stall’s licence for overcharging tourist

SINGAPORE: Stall No. 43 (Tanglin’s Best BBQ Seafood Stall) at Singapore’s Newton Hawker Centre has had its licence suspended for three months for overcharging.

National Environment Agency (NEA) said it had investigated the incident of overcharging of American Michael Rigby who was billed a total of S$491, including S$239 for eight tiger prawns.

NEA said it suspended the licence because the stall has breached licensing conditions.

The stall assistant involved in the incident will also be debarred from working at the Newton Food Centre for a year. — CNA/ir/de
