Food waste going down the drain

A restaurant owner in Jalan Kelang Lama trying to clean the drain after he was informed that his workers were dumping gunk into the drains.

IT HAS been exactly two years since Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) made it compulsory for all traders and business that prepare food in their premises, to install grease traps or have their licences revoked.

But a check by StarMetro at 10 popular food outlets in the city showed that despite installing the grease traps, the drains are still clogged, stagnant with gunk accumulated from food waste, detergent, oil, grease, lard and chemical used to clean and prepare food.
