A middle-aged man recently choked to death while eating a piece of ang ku kuih for breakfast at his residence in Bagan Datuk, Perak, on Sunday, 29 January

According to Sin Chew Daily, the man, surnamed Ji (transliteration), was eating the pastry at his Sungai Sumun home with his son and daughter-in-law at 9am, when he began to experience soreness in his throat and realised he was choking.

Panicked, his family rushed him to the closest clinic, which was a two-minute drive away.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the clinic, it was closed.

The couple quickly made their way to a private hospital in Teluk Intan.

Unfortunately, during their drive there, Ji passed away.


It wasn't until after his father passed away that Ji's son realised that there was an emergency button at the earlier government clinic that he could have pressed to alert medical personnel.

He reportedly felt immense guilt and regret for missing the chance to save his father. However, other members of the family acknowledged that the couple may have been too panicked.

Ji's body was sent to a hospital for an autopsy and his cause of death was confirmed to be due to choking.

Ban Ang Ku Kueh!!

Still got ppl eat this? I thought ppl buy this for praying only.

RiP

All too panicked only looking for help without thinking when something stuck in throat, what can be done to force the food either to go down or throw up.

got la, it's very common in local stalls that sell kuih muih

Not only ang ku kueh, like bangkuang/ ku chai kueh, i seen elderly tends to munch the whole mouthful instead of biting off and chew

its quite dangerous .. sometime kids might choke on it too...

You how long never go out jalan2 cari makan alr? Its so damn common to be found in most kuih muih stall lol

majority of people wouldn't know what to do when they see a person is choking or themselves choking.

Basic first aid must be taught in schools.

i like the yellow version. salty bean

I know they are selling it, i expect ppl buy this just to pray only, after that, throw away.

Frog under coconut shell spotted.

fishballs as well.
never put one piece into the mouth. it's smooth and slippery. easy to accidentally swollow whole.
