AVA Singapore


THE Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) has gone from flagging only vegetables from Spain and Germany to flagging greens from the rest of the European Union (EU).
The widening of its 'hold-and-test' requirement comes on the heels of a deadly E. coli outbreak in Germany, thought to be spread through contaminated cucumbers imported from Spain.
The 'hold-and-test' procedure refers to the practice of sending suspected items for tests and withholding their sale until they are found to be free of contaminants.
On Sunday, the AVA had said it would place imported leafy vegetables, cucumbers and tomatoes from Germany and Spain under hold-and-test, but it has since confirmed that cucumbers from Germany, Spain and Denmark are not brought in here.
Some, however, do come in from the Netherlands; between January and last month, 69kg of cucumbers were imported.
Yesterday, the AVA spokesman said: 'In view of the recent situation, AVA will place imported leafy vegetables, cucumbers and tomatoes from the EU under hold-and-test, should there be such imports.'

Debbie Hong Pooi Mun


A 23-YEAR-OLD man went to the dentist to have his teeth straightened, but emerged two teeth short - teeth that should have been taken out from another patient.
It was a case of a mistake compounded by another mistake at the National Dental Centre (NDC), in an incident which has landed a dentist in the soup, and earned the young man free corrective treatment.
The May 2007 incident - the first such case to come to light here - began when the clinic clerk put the chit for extracting two teeth into the wrong patient's file, and the wrong patient was called into the treatment room.
Dr Debbie Hong Pooi Mun, then four years into her career, failed to check the identity of her patient before commencing to extract the teeth. She wrongly took out the upper left first premolar and lower left second premolar.
The Straits Times understands that the patient was not under general anaesthesia; however, he said nothing when the first tooth was taken out.
When the error was discovered, he was informed within the hour. Although three senior NDC specialists were immediately called in, attempts to reimplant the two teeth failed.
