# 'First world my foot. Third-world residents': Man washes leg with shoe in hawker centre sink

*It seems we need a wash area for feet at hawker centres now. *

The New Paper

It seems we need a wash area for feet at hawker centres now. 

A man at Tiong Bahru Food Centre raised a few eyebrows recently when he proceeded to wash his leg in a sink.

Facebook user Agnes Cheong posted a couple of photos of the act on the Complaint Singapore page on Sunday (June 18).

Repulsed by what she saw, Cheong wrote: "What is this? This basin is for washing hands, not legs."

Netizens were in agreement over the man’s questionable behaviour, with some calling out the man for acting like a “third world resident”.
