S’gor proposes ban on foreign cooks in eateries serving local food

PETALING JAYA: The proposed move by the Selangor state government to ban foreign workers working as main cooks at hawker stalls will ensure the small-scale business is run only by locals while retaining the authentic taste of Malaysian food, say stakeholders.

Malaysian Federation of Hawkers and Petty Traders Association president Datuk Seri Rosli Sulaiman agrees that the move will preserve the reputation of Malaysian cuisine.
