WOMAN IN COMA DIES - 06 April 2009

A CANTEEN assistant who had been on life support after eating Rojak in a Geylang Serai market stall, died on Monday morning.

Madam Hamidah Samijo, 57, came down with severe food poisoning after a meal at the Rojak Geylang Serai stall last Friday.

She went into a coma, making her the worst hit among the more than 100 people who sought treatment at six major hospitals after eating at the stall. She died at 6.50 am at the Changi General Hospital on Monday.

Her body has been moved to the Singapore General Hospital for autopsy.

Her husband Omar Ali, who is in his 50s, was also admitted to CGH but he is recovering. Two other family members, Madam Siti Hamidah, a housewife in her 40s and her brother also fell ill after eating there.

In Madam Aminah's case, acute renal failure set in when the food poisoning infection entered her kidneys, sending her into a coma. She also had low blood pressure.

Of those who sought treatment in hospitals, 29 were admitted. Only three are known to have been discharged so far.

Rojak Geylang Serai, Stall No. 302, has been around for more than 20 years, and often has long queues snaking from it.

The Ministry of Health and the National Environment Agency jointly inspected the stall on Saturday and collected samples. MOH, which has received feedback from the hospitals and from stall patrons, said preliminary investigations showed the Rojak to be the suspected cause of the outbreak.

The stallholder and his assistant have been asked to go for screening at the Communicable Diseases Centre. The stallholder told authorities that his stall would be closed for the next two days.

Berita menyatakan, kemungkinan tukang masak simpan kuah rojak tu terlalu lama sebab itu bole menyebabkan keracunan. Pada Dee, berapa lama lah dia bleh simpan kuah tu... takkan lah sampai 10 hari, kalau ye pun mesti bau basi kan... dan paling pun sakit perot jer taklah sampai sakit hingga menjejas buah pinggang. Dan yang mengherankan tu... 100 orang ni bole sakit dalam masa itu dan ramai menyatakan kuahnya rasa masin skit (pekara biasala tu kalau kita makan luar). Tapi pelik kan!

Atau... maybe ada orang cuba sabotage...? Hmmm.

Macam mana pun, jika sesiapa yang rasa pelik dalam hindangan apa pun di luar sana sila ambil tindakkan dengan segera!

Second Woman Dies - 08 April, 2009

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.

Miscarriage After Rojak - 07 April 2009

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.
