Bobby shared that his doctor then advised him against standing for such long hours, which was the main reason why he has had to shutter his stall.
"The doctor told me not to stand so much. If I continue on like this, I'll really become wheelchair-bound. That's why I have to give up on the business," he said.

But the decision wasn't an easy one.
"From 1981 until now, I really can't bear [to shut down the store]. But there's nothing I can do about it," he lamented.
Having run the stall for so many years, Bobby was candid about his sadness over its closure and his reluctance towards ending his legacy.
"I've been doing this for 40 years. I really can't put it down, I can't. But I really can't [continue] with it. With my health condition, I can't do it. I'll miss this place too. I've been here for 40 years, I spent more time here than at home. Who wouldn't miss it?" he expressed.
Bobby isn't the only one disappointed by the stall's closure.
The hawker shared that many of his regular customers have expressed that they, too, "can't bear" to say goodbye to the stall.
"I told them there's nothing that can be done even if they feel that way," Bobby stated.
Some had even asked where he was going to set up his next stall, to which he said: "There's no more [next stall]. I'm retiring."
