Stop food waste


I RECENTLY attended a 150-table sumptuous, seven-course dinner at a convention centre in Kuala Lumpur. By the time the fifth course was served, there were only five of us left at our table. Imagine the amount of food left unconsumed, which I believe would have gone straight into the bins.

It was a sad sight that nobody at the event could do anything about it. At the time, I wished we could be given containers in which we could pack the excess food and distribute it to the needy. Wasted food is not an uncommon sight, and I am sure many of us have witnessed similar situations, not once but many times.
