Singapore Hawker's Rolls-Royce Stunt Doubles Food Stall Sales After Viral Video
A Singapore hawker, Muhammad Ezam Abdul Gani, used a borrowed Rolls-Royce Phantom in a marketing stunt at Upper Boon Keng Food Centre, which went viral on TikTok with over 500,000 views. The stunt doubled daily sales at his aunt's revamped food stall, Seven Claypot, from about 600 to over 1,200. The luxury car had been linked to a Singapore money laundering case but was auctioned to its current owner in July. The video helped Ezam recover his renovation investment faster than expected.
