Jessica Lee did not complete her food as she was caught by the officers for not declaring her foot-long sandwich.
“It is my mistake but like, I bought a foot-long Subway at Singapore airport because I was a hungry girl after my 11 hour flight,” she said. “I ate six inches before my second flight and then saved the other six inches for the flight which they’re more than happy with.”
She added: “I thought the little declaration thing you do is for your carry-ons and your luggage, so I didn’t tick chicken and I didn’t tick lettuce. Chicken and lettuce!”
