Yes but voltage determines if current will overcome resistance. Touching 5V DC with dry skin is ok. Touching 230V AC with dry skin = uplorry -
A woman’s plan to celebrate her aunt’s birthday with popiah culminated in disappointment after the popiah that she pre-ordered and queued for 40 minutes ended up getting refunded instead. The woman, 69-year-old Mdm Tan (name transliterated), told Shin Min Daily News that she encountered the above incident on 17 Nov at a popiah stall in a coffee shop at Block 823A, Tampines Street 81, as reported by Lianhe Zaobao. Stall makes woman queue for 40 minutes for pre-ordered popiah Mdm Tan had pre-ordered and pre-paid for the popiah that she wanted to bring for her aunt’s birthday celebration. She reportedly ordered from this specific stall as it served large servings of popiah for S$33. She initially thought that the popiah would be ready for pick up immediately as she had pre-ordered days before. However, when she came to the stall to pick up the order, the stall owner asked her to queue up instead and wait for the popiah. Source: Lianhe Zaobao “When I went to pick up the food at 10:40am, the stall owner asked me to queue,” Mdm Tan said. “As I was in a hurry and there were more than ten people in the line, I asked for a refund instead but she refused.” She shared that the stall owner had a “bad attitude”. As the owner refused to refund her, Mdm Tan said she had no choice but to queue up. However, when it came to her turn to pick up the popiah — a full 40 minutes of queueing later — the stall owner said that she didn’t want to serve Mdm Tan and refunded her instead. Felt disrespected and cheated Mdm Tan felt that the stall owner could have just refunded her immediately if she didn’t want her business, instead of making her queue for 40 minutes. She said that she had purchased large servings of popiah in the past but never encountered something like this. “I feel like she doesn’t respect her customers and I feel like I’ve been made fun of.” As it was for a birthday celebration, she had to order takeaway elsewhere. Source: Michelin Guide. For illustration purposes only Stall owner throws away popiah ingredients The stall owner told a Shin Min Daily News reporter that a female assistant had handled Mdm Tan’s order. The female assistant had pre-empted Mrs Tan that there would be a queue during the collection time, which Mdm Tan reportedly knew and acknowledged as she had ordered from the stall before. However, on the day of the collection, the stall had to cater to many customers, leading to a longer waiting time for the collection of pre-ordered popiah, including that of Mrs Tan. As such, Mrs Tan was asked to queue. However, Mdm Tan became upset and demanded to get the order immediately or get it refunded. The stall owner said: “I thought she would be unhappy eating it, so when it was her turn, I refunded her.” The owner also admitted that she had also become angry at that time as Mrs Tan insisted on getting refunded when the owner had already prepared the ingredients and the order was only waiting to be packed and registered. The owner thus had to throw away the pre-prepared ingredients. The owner works alone at the stall and hopes that customers can be more understanding.

At least five rats seen brazenly frolicking in Hougang porridge stall In a sight that has reportedly put off customers, multiple rats were seen nibbling on meat at a porridge stall in Hougang. The stomach-churning video, which was posted in the Complaint Singapore Facebook page, was purportedly taken at a kopitiam in Block 23 Hougang Avenue 3. Rats have free reign of Hougang porridge stall In the 1 minute 33 second-long clip, at least five rats were seen frolicking without a care in the world at a stall named Yi Sheng Teochew Porridge & Rice. While the stall and others in the kopitiam appeared to be closed with their lights off, a cleaner mopped the floor of the brightly lit eating area.

Source: Mikey Koh via Complaint Singapore on Facebook A man’s voice was heard in the video saying “they’re eating meat”. Stall not open for business, signboard taken down However, the stall seemed to be not open for business when Lianhe Zaobao visited on Saturday (23 Nov) afternoon. Its signboard had been taken down and its floor tiles were being replaced. Source: Lianhe Zaobao Other stallholders in the kopitiam appeared to know what had happened but seemed unwilling to comment about the incident. They only said that the porridge stall’s signboard was taken down on Thursday (21 Nov). ‘Not unusual’ for rats to be seen at food stalls: Boss A man who declined to give his name told Zaobao that he had recently taken over the stall and was its new boss. It had been previously fined, with rats again seen on the premises two days before the interview, he said. He added that it was “not unusual” for rats to be seen at food stalls and the video had made a mountain out of a molehill. He’s not afraid that it would affect business as the kopitiam conducts pest control regularly. The stall will reopen after renovations are completed, he said, but was unsure whether it would have the same name as before. During the interview, a rat ran out from behind the stall, past workers, the boss and the reporter, and scurried into the ceiling. Customers aware of rats, decide to eat somewhere else However, a regular customer surnamed Wang (transliterated from Mandarin), who has been patronising the kopitiam for 13 years, identified that man as the stall’s boss, while another man standing next to him was its manager. The stall, which has been open for about seven years, has been operated by these two people over the past few years, the 30-year-old decorator told Zaobao. He said he used to eat at the stall almost every day but “lost his appetite” after seeing the rat video and decided to eat somewhere else. As for the video, it was probably taken at about 4am on 20 Nov, Mr Wang added, as the supplier appeared to have delivered its ingredients before the stall had opened and placed them in the open instead of inside sealed containers. Before the video went viral over the Internet, some of the stall’s regular customers had already received it, he claimed. Another customer named only as Ms Chen (transliterated from Mandarin), said that she’d seen a rat climbing into the stall about two months ago. She told the boss about it, added the 59-year-old human resources executive, but he sarcastically said her eyesight must be getting bad. Since then, her family has stopped patronising the kopitiam and would rather eat at another one farther away. No rat’s nest found in Hougang kopitiam In response to queries from Zaobao, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said that SFA, HDB and the National Environment Agency (NEA) had conducted a joint inspection of the kopitiam. No rat’s nest was found on the premises, according to preliminary investigations. Source: Lianhe Zaobao SFA has instructed licensees to strengthen their pest management measures, including increasing the frequency of pest control and blocking possible entry points for rats to enter the premises.
