Man Chokes On Steel Mesh While Eating Pork Rice From Serangoon Kopitiam

But for one man, an ordinary dinner took an unexpected turn when he allegedly choked on a steel mesh.

Store supervisor allegedly cavalier about incident

Supposedly with the intention of reminding the store supervisor to be careful, the man approached her to inform about the steel mesh he found in his pork rice bowl.

However, according to his post, instead of apologising, the supervisor replied that this was “bound to happen”.

She also allegedly remarked that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred.

Since he hadn’t demanded for compensation, the man was quite taken aback by the supervisor’s response.

Complaint allegedly filed to SFA & NEA

Concluding his post, the man urged netizens to be cautious when buying food from the kopitiam.

He has also allegedly filed a complaint to SFA and NEA.

MS News has reached out to SFA for more information on the incident.

Hope store will be more careful

Choking hazards in food shouldn’t be taken lightly, as they may lead to serious consequences for the consumer.

We hope such incidents won’t occur again, so people’s safety won’t be in jeopardy.
