M’sia Govt doing the right thing on chicken shortage but might lose S’pore export market for good — Economists
Economists in Malaysia have noted that the ongoing chicken supply crisis has exposed structural issues needing sustainable reforms. Malaysia University of Science and Technology professor Geoffrey Williams said that Malaysia’s chicken export ban had created a shortage in Singapore, although it is not a problem for Malaysia.
Meanwhile, another economist, Carmelo Ferlito of the Center for Market Education, said that the export ban would deprive poultry farmers of their main export market. This could push some producers to shut down, thus affecting the local chicken supply. “While Malaysia plays a suicidal game, we can’t expect the rest of the world to sit down and wait for us. It is expected for them to look for chicken elsewhere,” he said when asked about the news that Singapore plans to import 10 times more chilled chicken from Thailand.
9-year-old swallows 14 magnetic balls, intestines punctured, netizens say both parents & child should know better
Magnetic balls, a popular toy among children and marketed to boost creativity, resulted in the punctured intestine of a nine-year-old who swallowed them. The child had swallowed a total of 14 magnetic balls, causing her to repeatedly throw up green vomit over two weeks.
Doctors could not deduce the problem at first as they had not known the child swallowed the magnetic toys, reported The Straits Times. The culprit was eventually discovered after a scan, and the child underwent emergency surgery last month to remove the magnetic balls, measuring 3mm to 5mm in diameter.
