# Woman wolfs down KFC fried chicken at customs after she was barred from bringing it to SG from JB

**JOHOR BAHRU** - [A woman ](https://www.facebook.com/shinmindailynewsxinmingribao/photos/a.358346434223942/5047550025303536/?type=3)who attempted to bring fried chicken from a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet located in Johor Bahru into Singapore was forced to finish it in front of customs officers after she was stopped by them on arrival.

[China Press](https://www.chinapress.com.my/?p=2909687) reported that the woman had allegedly posted a question on Facebook last Sunday (Mar 27) asking netizens whether it was okay to bring her finger-licking good meal to Singapore.

> **Emergency! May I know if I can 'dabao' KFC from Johor Bahru into Singapore?**

Three hours later, she posted another update on Facebook revealing the final fate of her meal.

> **I have eaten the two pieces of fried chicken in front of the customs officials. Case closed.**

## But why though?

Needless to say, netizens was baffled by the woman's story and flooded the comment section with their take on the situation.

***"For goodness sake, Singapore has KFC too. Why do you need to take KFC from Malaysia into Singapore?"***

***"If this was allowed, all the KFC outlets in Singapore will be closed down! Besides, it won't be delicious anymore once it goes cold."***

According to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), travellers entering Singapore are allowed to bring meat products not more than 5kg directly from its [list of approved countries](https://www.sfa.gov.sg/food-import-export/bringing-food-for-personal-use).

This applies to all kinds of meat, including cooked food containing meat such as [*bak kwa*, pork floss](https://mothership.sg/2022/01/illegal-bak-kwa-pork-floss/), or fried chicken.
