GEORGE TOWN: Penangites hope that nasi kandar restaurants – considered as one of the island’s staple dishes – will take measures to keep their premises clean after 15 were closed down by the state health department.

Petrol station administration staff Rodziah Abu Ali, 51, said she would avoid some outlets that operate by the roadside or at five foot ways due to its poor environment.
