10 April 2023 – an elderly couple from Malaysia unknowingly purchased and cooked the highly poisonous pufferfish, which can be deadly if not prepared and cooked properly.

Ng Chuan Sing and his wife Lim Siew Guan, from Malaysia, died hours after tucking into the controversial delicacy, the cooking of which is governed by strict laws in some countries due some parts being highly toxic.
