SINGAPORE: 57-year-old canteen operator Aminah Samijo, who died on Monday morning after eating contaminated Indian rojak salad from the Geylang Serai market, was buried on Tuesday.
Earlier on Monday afternoon, scores of visitors turned up at the family home at Eunos Crescent to bid their final farewells. Among them was the Mayor of Central Singapore District, Zainul Abidin Rasheed.
Relatives described Madam Aminah as a great cook who was well-liked by many.
Her husband Omar Ali, who also fell ill and was granted hospital leave to attend her funeral, told Channel NewsAsia he is feeling better.
Madam Aminah's family said they have yet to decide on their next course of action.
Azlan Abdullah, Madam Aminah's nephew, said: "I can't say if we're taking any action or not taking any action. What we will do is just wait for the agencies who are involved in the investigation. Hopefully, they can give us the report as soon as possible."
