Here in sunny Singapore, t’s not unusual to see uncles fighting at a car park.
In fact, it’s not unusual to see them fighting in any part of the country.
These fights typically happen in the night, as well as in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Whether they’re fighting over parking spots or something equally trivial, only foul words are flung, and maybe a couple of punches.
What’s not exactly common, however, is one uncle trying to murder another at a car park.
But believe it or not, that’s exactly what happened a couple of days ago.
