KOTA KINABALU: Some 700 Health Department personnel have been mobilised to inspect and monitor Ramadan bazaars throughout Sabah until the end of the fasting month.
State Health director Datuk Dr Rose Nani Mudin said this was to ensure such bazaars only sold food that was safe for consumption.
“Following the checks, we issued 21 compound notices to food operators under Section 32B of the Food Act 1983,” she told reporters after visiting the Ramadan bazaar at Lintasan Deasoka here on Tuesday . Dr Rose Nani said the 21 compound notices were mostly reminders to hawkers to follow the rules although some were heavier such as RM100 compounds.
Sandakan health officer Dr Johari Awang Besar had said among the offences committed were not having typhoid injection health cards for their workers, the absence of food handling certificates and failure to ensure cleanliness at their stalls.

A State so blessed, yet many Sabahans are still poorA foreigner can see it. Why many Sabah political leaders fail to see it? I was shocked and at the same time, deeply embarrassed being asked by a friend from China. His question was why Sabah is so rich and so many poor Sabahans? It is a very simple but profound observation by a foreigner who has arrived to visit Sabah for only a short time. His question is simple but it has pierced the heart right through. I could not help asking myself, is Sabah’s poor economic management so blatantly obvious? Why? Why? Why? Why it has to be like this? Sabahans must rectify this “Rich Sabah, Poor Sabahans” dichotomy, this contradiction? With justifiable pride, my Chinese friend told me that China has uplifted 800 million Chinese out of poverty in the last 40 years. Whereas poor Sabahans in the same period, has increased. Economic performance-wise, Sabah has sunk from No.2 state to No. 2 from the bottom in the same period of time in spite of ample land, resources like oil and gas and oil palm.
