Food poisoning

Tuesday, April 14, 2009
I am going to talk food poisoning in this blog post. Recently, there had been a food poisoning in Geylang hawker centre. The poisoned food was rojak. I could not believe such case has happened again after that milk poisoning in China. The poisoned rojak caused lots of people to be ill and even one pregant woman to lose her baby! I did not know this could be possible as usually, when I ate some food which is not clean, I would only get stomachache. After that day, I would be alright. The food poisoning had affected lots of people, the customers to be ill and have to be warded, the stallholders in the hawker centre and those working in the market nearby have lesser customers than usual , causing a dip in their profit. Also, from the news, the cleanliness of the stalls are very low, atrracting pests like rats. I was utterly disgusted at the number of rats they caught. But now, the National Environment Agency(NEA) is starting to do something to solve the problem. Also, the stallholders are going to clean the market once a week to ensure the whole place is clean and free of pests. I can at least see something done which is good. Some time later, I am sure the customers will come back again and need not be fear that there might be food poisoning. To end the post, I would like to say that such cases happening may not be good for Singapore so everyone, let try to keep Singapore clean as everyone plays an important part!

Yeah, agree with your views...

Really, I think they caught 100+ rats and guess what? They say these are the bare minimum!

OMG... Really, everybody really should play a part in making Singapore clean and green!

Foo fOO! :)

Actually such things would not be good for Singapore, not "may not be good for Singapore". Hygiene and cleanliness are essential in attracting tourists and ensuring that people do not fall sick.
It is quite simple to ensure that Singapore is clean. As long as everyone plays a part in it, the job can be completed quickly. You can contribute by not littering on the floor or picking up litter from the floor etc. I hope the majority of the rats can be caught.
