Not just verbal warning, actions need to follow!

By Mona Hassan

I was being told the Ministry of Health warned hawkers at the Bazaar Ramadan over the news yesterday to mind their cleanliness and that of the food they sell. Unfortunately when my friend stopped by the Bazaar at Kota Damansara Section 6 all her favourite sweetmeats were not covered and big blue bottle flies flew over and/or perched on all the uncovered food. Surprisingly when she complained about the flies the stall attendants behaved as if nothing has gone wrong.

Please may I suggest MOH send officers to spot check on all these bazaars regularly. These are the favourite shopping areas for Muslims and Non-Muslims alike. Here and now we are worried about the possible 2^nd wave of H1N1 and dengue on the rise. Please don’t let us have an epidemic of dysentery!!
