In a Stomp article published on May 26, it was reported that Stomper Marcus saw the attendant engaging in the dangerous act Esso petrol Station in Jalan Jurong Kechil on May 25 at around 2.40pm.

In a photo the Stomper sent, the attendant in a blue top can be seen looking at his phone while filling up the fuel tank of the vehicle

Said the Stomper:

"I was walking out from the mini-mart when I spotted the attendant using his phone.

"Is this not a safety hazard? As an attendant, I would expect him to be more wary of the dangers a phone can pose at a place like the petrol kiosk.

"Such an act is irresponsible and dangerous. I hope the kiosk looks into this soon."
