A fire pit in Toa Payoh Lorong 7 meant for Taoists to burn religious offerings such as joss paper has become a makeshift barbecue pit, causing a stir among the area's residents.
Housewife Linda Low, who moved to Toa Payoh a year ago, said she has seen it happening twice. "They don't seem local. I think they could be foreign workers. Two of them will come and cook first, and then a few more will join in later to eat," the 49-year-old said.
She is not the only resident living in Block 1 who has recently spotted people barbecuing at the octagonal-shaped structure in front of the block.
Ms Low did not find it annoying, saying "they cleaned up the area before leaving".
