Address food hygiene issue seriously, says Chua

KUALA LUMPUR: The increasing cases of leptospirosis (rat urine disease) and diarrhoea show that there is negligence on food hygiene and the environment, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

Both the Government and the public should play their part in maintaining the hygiene of the places where food is sold, he said, adding that food sellers and restaurant operators had the “absolute responsibility” to ensure cleanliness at their premises.
