Chicken rice seller posts video asking Huang Yiliang's assistant to clarify situation, says they called police after beating

A video has been posted online of the assistant of former actor Huang Yiliang's seafood stall, talking to the chicken rice sellers from the next stall.

The video, which was uploaded on the chicken rice stall's social media pages, showed the assistant being asked to sit down at a table near Huang's Old Fisherman hawker stall at Circuit Road Hawker Centre, which he opened in February 2026.

The chicken rice sellers could then be heard asking her to clarify the situation, saying it was unfair to the lady chicken rice seller.

The point of contention appeared to be about previous rumours and who started them.

Reactions to the stall owners putting the video online were overwhelmingly negative, with many questioning if this was fair to the assistant, who appeared uneasy about the situation.

Speaking to 8World, the chicken rice seller also clarified that they were the ones who called the police after Huang was attacked.

The chicken rice seller said they were aware they were in the wrong for beating him. However, she asked rhetorically what a husband would do if their wife was being berated, appearing to reason out the beating.

Previous incident

This comes after Huang was attacked by a fellow hawker at Circuit Road Hawker Centre.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they received a call for assistance on May 10 at about 6pm at Block 79A Circuit Road.

One person was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

The police told Mothership that upon arrival, officers established that a 64-year-old man was assaulted by a 60-year-old man.

On May 7, a video emerged online in which he was seen in a squabble with his neighbouring hawker, who runs a chicken rice stall.

The spat appeared to be centred around rumours of Huang and his assistant "sleeping" together.

The rumours reportedly stemmed from the chicken rice hawker.

Huang explained that he simply offered to let his assistant rest at his residence near the food stall.

Tensions escalated again on May 10, with Huang allegedly being hit from behind on his right ear by the husband of the chicken rice hawker.

He was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and discharged that same day.

Just wanted to show he was fine

Huang, who has no plans to relocate his stall as business was stable, told Shin Min Daily News on May 12 that he was now fine.

He said: "I wasn't smiling. I was just showing that I was alright.

"At the start I didn't want to be taken to the hospital. However, someone had called for the ambulance and police."

"In the end, I thought it would be better to go to the hospital to see if there was any haemorrhage," Huang added.
