Roadside dining is risky, local authorities must ensure public safety, says Lee


PETALING JAYA: Restaurants who place tables outside their premises by the roadside are putting their customers' lives at risk, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Lee was referring to the incident where a diner was killed when a four-wheel drive (4WD) pickup truck skidded and slammed into patrons of an eatery at Taman Equine in Serdang on Sunday (Nov 18).
