But the advertisement picture inside the same newspaper was showing Koh Tsu Koon riding next to the Najib, which is the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Fake eggs have no nutrition value. Yet it’s harmful to humans. A lady claimed to purchase 30 fake eggs from Pulau Tikus Pasar. The size of the fake eggs is bigger than normal eggs. She even paid RM0.50 more for the fake eggs.

She noticed something was not right while blending the eggs because the eggs produced more bubble than usual. The bubbles looked very similar to bubble from detergent. After the eggs were cooked, they didn’t taste like eggs. She then complained this to Penang Consumer Association.

According to the fake egg issue in China, the egg shell is made out from Calcium Chloride, egg yolk and egg white are made with Sodium Alginate and Gelatine. Penang Consumer Association warned: consuming the fake eggs may cause brain and neuron cell damage.
