DTN News: Singapore TODAY August 2, 2009 ~ Three Men Injured In Fight Outside Newly—Opened Tekka Market *Source: DTN News / Int'l Media (NSI News Source Info) SINGAPORE - August 2, 2009: Three men were involved in a fight on Sunday morning outside the newly—opened Tekka Market on Serangoon Road. Police received a call at about 8am, but the fight had already broken up by the time they arrived. No weapons were found at the scene, but eye—witnesses said knives were used. An Indian man in his 30s was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Police said he was conscious when he was sent there. Two other Indian men made their own way to the hospital. Most shoppers inside Tekka Market did not seem to notice the commotion outside. The market re—opened on Saturday after 15 months of renovation costing over S$10.5 million. During the 15—month refurbishment period, some tenants moved to a temporary market at nearby Race Course Road. Some tenants have reported an increase in rent by up to 20 per cent. However, they are confident the spanking new facility will attract more customers.
