GEORGE TOWN : Police say they will not take action against a man who attacked a char koay teow seller in New Lane here over the weekend. In a viral video shot by a member of the public at about 7pm on July 5, the man appeared to be upset that the hawker was ignoring a question about which plate of the noodles was his. He then proceeded to shout at one of the two stallholders, appearing to slap one of them. One of the stallholders then threatened to call the police, with the irate man saying to go ahead, before proceeding to flip the hawker's wok. In a statement this evening, Timur Laut deputy police chief Lee Swee Sake said one of the stallholders had lodged a police report over the incident. 'After investigations, we have classified the case as no further action after the complainant forgave the suspect, who had apologised to him after the incident. 'The complainant also does not wish to pursue the case, as neither he nor his family members suffered any loss or injury,' he said.

Penang's best char koay teow? Judges say it's from Pulau Tikus after sizzling street food contest
GEORGE TOWN, June 1 — A beloved char koay teow stall in Pulau Tikus has claimed the top spot in a Penang-wide cook-off, winning over judges with its perfect wok hei and bold flavours. According to The Star, Hean Char Koay Teow, run by 53-year-old Ong Siew Kean — better known as Winny Ong — was crowned champion at a competition held at the Toi Shan Ningyang Wui Kwon clan temple on King Street today. Ong edged out 29 other contenders in the showdown. While participants were provided with standard ingredients — prawns, eggs, noodles, and bean sprouts — each brought their own sauces and cockles to showcase their signature style. The second place went to Chin Foh Shin from Taman Tanjung Aman, while Khoo Kay Keat of Kong Long Char Koay Teow came in third. The English daily reported that judges scored the dishes based on taste, aroma, and presentation.
