A WOMAN expressed regret for having to undergo two surgeries that left two of her front teeth broken after choking on a fish bone while enjoying nasi dagang, Kosmo! reported.

Through a TikTok post by @Likemeainn, she said: “While I was eating nasi dagang, I suddenly choked due to swallowing a fish bone and had to be warded.

“During the second surgery to remove the fish bone, the front teeth were broken.

“What an unforgettable experience. After this, I will definitely not eat fish,” she said.

She further said that the doctor initially failed to locate the bone but there was pain every time she swallowed, which caused her to be warded.

It is understood that her front teeth were broken during the second surgery to ensure that the fish bone could be completely removed.

The video caught the attention of many social media users who also shared their same experience.

“I once choked on a sea bass bone. It’s as thin as glass, so you can’t see it on an X-ray,” commented @Cikliza.

“I once choked on a fish bone. I had to swallow rice balls for hours to get the bone to move,” said Nora.

> Comedian and entrepreneur Shuib, 41, confirmed that his wife Watie Hanifiah, 36, is now five months pregnant, Harian Metro reported.

Shuib, whose real name is Shahmira Muhammad, said he expressed gratitude because his wife is pregnant for the second time after a previous miscarriage.

“Watie is also very excited and promised to take good care of the pregnancy because she has been working hard before,” he said at the launch of singer Amad Dayyan’s debut single on Tuesday.

Shuib said he found out that Watie was pregnant for the first time when they were in Medina but felt sad remembering his late wife, who was pregnant with his youngest before her demise.

Shuib has four children from his marriage with his late wife, singer Siti Sarah Raissuddin.

“So, when Watie got pregnant this time, that feeling came back, like deja vu.

“Actually, I felt a little sad and scared as we were not lucky with the first pregnancy,” he said.
