GEORGE TOWN: A food stall run and operated by foreigners at a walkway in Farlim here was demolished by the Penang City Council (MBPP) on Thursday (Oct 31).
In a Facebook post, the MBPP stated that the stall was demolished because it was an illegal structure.
"From intelligence and monitoring carried out by the council, the food stall was operated by foreigners and a check conducted at the site found food waste and oil were thrown into the public drain, causing the drain to become blocked," it said.
It said the stall was demolished in an integrated operation involving its Licensing, Enforcement, Municipal Services, and Engineering Departments, as well as Tenaga Nasional Berhad and Penang Water Supply Corporation.
According to MBPP, they have also cleaned the area and the drain to ensure the smooth flow of the water. – Bernama
