Beware the unwanted dining guest


AS we emerge from the movement control order (MCO) hibernation, we should consider how we as citizens should live in a post-lockdown world. The standard of public hygiene must be raised higher and enforced by all authorities, from the Health Ministry to local council enforcement officers.

In Malaysia, we are proud of our hawker and street food culture. Some have even quipped that a bit of roadside dirt makes our hawker offerings special. Our love for street food is so deep that some were prepared to violate the MCO just to satisfy their urge for nasi lemak and char koay teow.
