SINGAPORE, March 23 – Singapore said today its authorities had found low levels of radioactive contaminants in four samples of vegetables imported from Japan.
It said samples of wild parsley, rapeseed plant, mustard and perilla leaf were found to have elevated levels of radiation, although an adult would have to consume 3.5kg of these vegetables to receive a similar amount of radiation as one X-ray.
The contaminated samples were imported from the affected prefectures of Tochigi and Ibaraki, as well as Chiba and Ehime which are outside the affected areas.
Earlier today, Singapore suspended the import of milk, meat and produce from areas near Japan’s crippled nuclear power plant due to worries of radiation contamination. – Reuters

....Tempias nuclear ni dah nak sampai benua ni! Jagalah sikit, tuan-tuan & puan-puan. See my previous post here: http://cchivy.blogspot.com/2011/03/compounding-interest.html Malaysia, being Malaysia, will play down the seriousness of this radioactivity. Gomen takkan report punya...
Kalau lah you think it's low levels only and radioactivity is normal, then I have nothing to say. Kissaten lah, hari-hari. :-p But don't be paranoid, just be aware and careful. Awareness je...
Honestly, radioactive vege is worst as pesticide-laden Cameron Highland vege. At least you can wash off pesticide away very easily!
