Malaysian department head lodges complaint over foreign object in dish – to himself

By Hanis Zainal

Michael Chong, the head of the Malaysian Chinese Association’s Public Services and Complaints Department in Malaysia has dealt with every problem under the sun from loan sharks to missing teenagers.

But when he has a problem, who does he turn to?

Chong gave a press conference yesterday to highlight a broken fish hook that he found in a fish head curry.

“We were in a restaurant in Petaling Jaya. I chose this place because I like the fish head curry there.

“I was halfway through the curry and roti canai when suddenly I realised there was an object (inside the flesh of the fish head).

“I separated it from the flesh and saw that it was a broken fish hook,” he said, recounting his Sunday dinner outing with his son, daughter and son-in-law.
