GEORGE TOWN: Rat droppings around the stove. A screwdriver used as a utensil and cockroaches near the ice box. All these were the reasons two eateries along Macallum Street Ghaut were closed for 14 days.

Besides the closure under Section 11 of the Food Act 1983, the two eateries were also served with 13 summonses amounting to RM3,250 on Tuesday night.
