When a woman having dinner at a zi char restaurant in Yishun felt a piercing pain in her mouth, she initially thought it was a bone of the fish she was eating. She was startled when she spat it out and saw it was a 2.5cm-long fishing hook. “It could have been deadly if swallowed!” she cried out, according to Shin Min Daily News. The incident took place around 8 pm on Nov. 22, when the woman, in her 40s, was having dinner with her colleague, a 66-year-old man surnamed Yang (transliterated), at Heng Hua Restaurant. Heng Hua confirmed to Shin Min that they had covered the woman’s clinic fees, and added that they would step up their management. In response to Mothership’s queries, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it is investigating the incident. Photo from Shin Min. #sgnews #tiktoksg
