Singapore ground to a violent halt this morning following a catastrophic breach of breakfast etiquette at a Toa Payoh hawker centre.

Witness reports suggest that 64-year-old Lim Teck Huat attempted to crack his soft-boiled eggs before his Kopi-C arrived, defying the laws of physics and common decency.

"Siao liao, the egg still cold but he crack already, confirm going to suay for seven years," remarked regular patron, Tan Bee Hua, while aggressively stirring dark soy sauce into her existential dread.

Internal Security Department officers arrived within minutes to waterboard Lim with lukewarm Teh-O for his "reckless disregard for the sacred morning sequence."

Authorities have since cordoned off the table, citing a "high risk of soy sauce splatter and national shame."

"I only want to eat leh, why everyone so kanchiong?" sobbed the disgraced Lim, as he was dragged toward a re-education camp for elderly deviants.
