Can you eat 10 chillies in 1 min 43 sec?
This International Accountants Day in Singapore, the SAC, CPA Australia and ISCA are organising a carnival-like event, bringing together the Accountancy Sector to celebrate the diverse roles of accountants. One of the activities will be the chilli-eating competition, where participants can get their change to write their name into the Singapore Book of Records, if they can finish 10 chillies under 1 minute and 43 seconds! The video showcases SAC CE, Uantchern Loh, gamely trying his hand at finishing 5 chillies at a go (with no water)! See you on 6 November 2014 at Event Square@Marina Bay!
