A STREET vendor was reportedly using the same knife to cut food and shave her legs, China Press reported.
Her act was exposed by a netizen, identified only as Bai.
According to Bai, the hawker selling burgers in Weifang of China’s Shandong province had used a knife to chop ingredients.
“When there were no customers, the vendor used the same knife to shave her legs and trim her fingernails,” said the whistleblower, who witnessed the act on July 19.
The incident went viral on Chinese social media platforms, drawing widespread criticism.
> Sin Chew Daily reported that a man in Kelantan has taken it upon himself to repair the damaged walkways outside Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II in Kota Baru.
An online video shows sidewalks around the hospital in disrepair, overgrown with weeds and riddled with potholes.
Many healthcare workers have to walk carefully to avoid tripping.
“This is not an ordinary road – it’s the route medical staff take to work and a place where patients can get some fresh air,” the man said.
He began the repair work after obtaining permission from the hospital’s security personnel, toiling under the blazing sun, pulling weeds and clearing rubbish.
His heartwarming actions have moved some social media users, who labelled him “a true urban hero”.
Concerned netizens have since urged authorities to pay more attention to the infrastructure surrounding hospitals.
