GEORGE TOWN: With the “table war” at food courts getting out of hand – there have even been scuffles between hawkers – the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has been forced to step in.

A number of photos and videos have gone viral online showing hawkers fighting over where customers can sit, with police reports being lodged as well.
