The group’s deputy president Tai Wai Sun said the sale of the pufferfish should be stopped “to prevent putting the people’s health and life at risk”.
On March 25, Mr Ng Chuan Sing, 84, and his wife, Madam Lim Siew Guan, 83, ate a pufferfish they bought from a trader.“The fish contains a substance toxic enough to kill a person when ingested in amounts as little as 25mg,” said Mr Tan during the Johor Bahru Fish Suppliers’ Association’s 44th anniversary celebration on Sunday.
“The probability of consuming poisonous ones is quite high, so it is better for them to refrain from selling puffer fish at all,” he said.
