A Singaporean woman was left fuming after a hawker gave a rather lackadaisical reply when she informed the latter that a metal wire had lodged itself inside her son’s throat.
The incident later viral after the woman took to Facebook to share further details and slammed the hawker stall for its response.

During the meal, her son began complaining of having something stuck in his throat and his mouth being in pain. When the woman tilted her son’s head to get a closer look, she found a metal wire lodged in his throat.
‘What do you want me to do?’
Horrified by the discovery, the woman’s ex-husband walked over to the stall and confronted the staff over the incident.
Instead of apologising, the female staff allegedly gave the following reply:
What do you want me to do about it?
Needless to say, the reply didn’t sit well with the woman, who wrote in the post’s caption that she was “quite pissed off with the attitude” shown by the staff.

During the interview, the staff explained that they had planned to give the woman a refund and further improve their kitchen practices.
As for the metal wire, the staff revealed that she usually uses a metallic scrub to clean the dishes after preparing the food.
Despite the stall’s offer to give a refund, the woman told Shin Min Daily News that she wasn’t interested in the money and is still upset with the staff’s response to the matter.
