Still handling food in the back lanes

Workers washing dishes on the floor and back lane of a coffeeshop in SS2.

DESPITE Petaling Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) efforts to curb unhygienic food practices, several eateries in Petaling Jaya continue to flout council regulations, with workers ignoring basic hygiene practices.

During a check by StarMetro, we saw one worker pounding meat in the back lane between two eateries in SS2, while several others were washing dishes and utensils on the ground nearby. Garbage bins with rubbish spilling over could be seen in the background.
