Would you choose tasty food or clean food?
The latest fiasco involving five food stalls in Lucky Garden, Bangsar, that were forced to close for two weeks for operating in unsanitary conditions, shows how one’s taste is stronger than sight.
The enforcement by the Federal Territory Health Department came after some members of the public complained that stall workers and patrons were seen openly urinating at adjacent drains and behind their homes, with the excuse that there were no public toilets nearby. Oblivious to the stalls’ blatant flouting of the law, in this case the Food Act 1983, patrons do not mind eating at the filthy hawker centre at the expense of their health.
Who do we blame here? The authorities for lack of enforcement or the food stall operators for their complete disregard for sanitation and hygiene?StarMetro reported that the stalls, which were previously located along Lorong Ara Kiri 1, were temporarily shifted to Lorong Ara Kiri 3 in 1998 in anticipation of a move to a permanent site.
