Singapore - Singapore was hit by the second outbreak of mass food-poisoning case in two weeks, as a dozen people fell ill after eating the same food, local media reported Sunday.

Authorities had closed a market where some food stall were been being investigated after two women died last week from eating the food, and another lost her 2-month old foetus the previous week. More than 150 people were reported to have fallen ill at the market.
