GEORGE TOWN: Faecal matter from cats, rats and cockroaches found in a traditional soy sauce factory in Jalan C.Y. Choy here led to a two-week closure order.

In a surprise raid yesterday, the state Health Department and Department of Environment slapped the closure order on the factory’s front door and ordered the operator to clean up.
