However, Indian rojak stallholder Sheik Allaudin Mohideen, 70, was taken aback when told by The Straits Times that he may wind up in court.
Interviewed at his Eunos flat on Wednesday, Mr Allaudin said selling food is the last thing on his mind now.
He said he now spends his days at home. 'Where can I go? I just stay home and wait for the authorities' decision. I pray for the best,' he said.
'I have not heard from the National Environment Agency. They have not called or sent me any letter.
'I don't know what's going to happen to me. If they (the authorities) want to revoke my licence or fine me, then so be it.'
When asked on Wednesday, the NEA said a notice of suspension will be issued to Mr Allaudin shortly.
In a joint statement on Tuesday night, the NEA and the Ministry of Health said investigations into the food poisoning incident, which left two people dead and 152 others ill, have been completed.
They said they had found food and environmental hygiene lapses at the stall, and that they would take Mr Allaudin to court.
When asked if he has visited the families of the two women who died, Mr Allaudin wore a frown and said: 'I really want to visit them, but I don't dare to. I feel very bad about it.'
