Some stalls at the Bazar Raya Utara, a Ramadan bazaar in Woodlands, were found selling pork.
This non-compliance was discovered last weekend (Mar. 25 and 26), according to the Marsiling Constituency Office.
According to a Facebook post from Mar. 27, the organisers have engaged with the operator and have taken immediate corrective steps to stop the sale of pork.
Will prevent future incidents
The constituency office added that it will prevent "future recurrence".

The constituency office also assured residents and patrons of the bazaar that they will do their utmost to "provide as best as a Ramadan experience" as they can.
This includes having performances on the weekends, as well as halal/Muslim-owned and non-halal stalls to cater to all residents.
