Another few persons were standing behind waiting for their turn.
An elderly Malay woman passed her plate of stingray for the fish monger to weigh to check the price and clean.
The stall owner asked the woman if she would like him to cut the fishes into smaller pieces.
She couldn't hear clearly and the two elderly ladies next to her asked her again.
As they were talking, a man came from behind.
He said, "Excuse me," to a guy standing behind and pushed his way to the front.
He squeezed in between the third elderly lady and a woman and took a tray to select his purchases.
He then said rudely in English, "Buy already quickly go off. Still stand here talking."
The two elderlies rebutted him in Hokkien, "We buy already you think we will still stand here. You don't know how to see the uncle hasn't weigh and clean the fishes for us. We are not wood."
The man then turned and saw those behind who witnessed how he had embarrassed himself.
It turned out this man has parked his car illegally by the roadside.
