Dead rat found floating in cooking oil?

EIGHT food premises in Klang were ordered to close after they failed to meet hygiene standards.

One even had a dead rat in its frying pan.

Sinar Harian reported that the carcass was seen floating in a pan of used cooking oil, discovered in the kitchen of an outlet near Jalan Tengku Kelana.

Health officers also found cockroaches and animal droppings in the eight food premises that were investigated under Operasi Bersepadu Bersih 3 on Thursday.

“A check on the first outlet found that food containers were placed on the floor.

“Many cockroaches were also seen,” said Klang Municipal Council Health Department acting deputy director Amran Jali.

He said that the premises had been ordered to close immediately after the checks.

Owners of the premises were given two weeks to clean their food outlets.

“We will return in a few days to check on these outlets.

“They will only be allowed to resume operations if they abide by directives,” Amran said.

The daily also reported that 23 students from a school in Shah Alam were rushed to the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah after they complained of stomach-ache and diarrhoea on Thursday.

The students were believed to have bought and ate food sold at the school canteen during recess.

The students were given outpatient treatment after being diagnosed with food poisoning.

They were allowed to return home after receiving treatment.

Selangor Education Department assistant director Rohaya Hussin said the school canteen had stopped operations temporarily, pending instructions from the state Health Department.

“The canteen will open again when the department gives the green light,” Rohaya said.

The question...is what else could they think of next? Oh...some people are so so digusting.My god,i am wondering why the government even let them operate in the first place.Actually the govrnment should run a campaign that rewards whistleblowers on dirty restaurants.Law enforcers, cant be everywhere at every place.But normal citizens like you and me,we go to Restaurants to eat.If we notice it being dirty and if we reported it,and get rewarded,dont you think that will work?Whats your call on this?

    Like someone mentioned,the laws are implemented,but the execution part of it is not.There are scores of unhygienic eateries around town.They got around the system.The enforcement is 1stly not well paid,therefore subjected to bribery and corruption. Like someone mentioned,even just with a free meal and drinks,the outlet will get away even with the most dirtiest kitchens.As to who will be the victims,i would very much leave it to the consumers.If no one evers dies from eating at that particular outlet,no one will really bother to go about snooping around. The officers themselves are just one bunch of lazy a...ses

    The problem lies with the Health Inspectors, attitude of restaurant owners and the customers. Lack of strict enforcement ( close one eye, if served free meals and drinks ). Malaysian consumers care less about Hygiene - its a fact. There are thousands of dirty eateries and restaurants in Malaysia that needs to be closed and fined but who cares?

    Where did the rat come from? Was it from the padi fields or the dirty drains? Rats are edible and taste just as good as chicken meat. Barbecued rats down with beer or better with Guiness Stout is better than sex stimulants pills.
