ANOTHER woman who fell into a coma after eating Indian rojak from a popular store at a Geylang Serai hawker centre on Friday has died.
Madam Norani Kassim, 59, died at 9.58am on Wednesday, five days after she was warded in Alexandra Hospital's intensive care unit.

Alexandra spokesman said that the cause of death is still undetermined pending coroner's investigation.

Her husband Mr Mohd Salleh Sapir, 65, said that Mdm Norani had a history of diabetes.

He was also told that the bacteria in her stomach was affecting her liver and heart.

Canteen assistant Madam Aminah Samijo, 57, died earlier on Monday after eating the rojak on Friday, along with her husband, Mr Omar Ali, who is in his 50s.

Madam Aminah became violently sick on Friday night, and suffered vomiting and severe diarrhoea.

She was taken to the Changi General Hospital, but lapsed into a coma and died without regaining consciousness.

A TWO-MONTH pregnant woman who had eaten rojak bought from the same stall in Geylang Serai market, came down with severe diarrhoea on Friday evening and later suffered a miscarriage. Madam Rosiah Samat, 38, suffered acute pains in her stomach and was shuttling to the toilet at least six times before she started to bleed profusely. She also became very weak. 'It was pain like nothing else I felt before,' she told The Straits Times in Malay on Monday. 'I thought I was going to die. 'I could hear my children yelling 'Wake up, mummy! Wake up!' as I was falling unconscious. I told them to quickly call for the ambulance.'

Her 12-year-old daughter, Haidah Wahid, said that Madam Rosiah was covered in sweat and she was shivering all over. Shortly after, she fainted and was rushed to the KK Women's and Children's hospital where she was later told that she had suffered a miscarriage. Madam Rosiah was warded there for two days and returned home on Sunday. Even though the worst was over, her stomach still felt painful. It is unclear if the food poisoning had caused Madam Rosiah's baby to miscarry.

For a turnover of approx $1,500 daily for 26 days.....after deducting his costs of approx $500 daily, he makes pretty good wages.

I don't believe for one moment that he throws away the gravy or the food items unless it's really spoilt. Just have a look at the other hawkers around you.

Never trust Indian Muslims, The gravy leftover will continue to sell the next day, just like roti prata. So eat with your eyes open.

Wrong. Eating out is always dangerous.....we are always at the mercy of the restaurant, hawker etc......regardless of nationality,religion, country location etc....

So you want be safe, eat at home or BYO sandwiches to the workplace
