Cockroaches, rat droppings: Two popular Sungai Besar eateries ordered shut for 14 days
SABAK BERNAM: Two popular food premises in Sungai Besar were ordered closed for 14 days after inspectors found various hygiene offences during Ops Bersih Premis Makanan yesterday.
In Sungai Besar, two popular eateries were ordered shut for 14 days due to serious hygiene issues discovered during a recent inspection. The operation, part of Ops Bersih Premis Makanan, conducted at the same time as the district-level Hari Cuci Malaysia, also resulted in nine violations against three inspected premises. The health and environmental inspectors found numerous problems, including cockroaches and rat droppings near a kitchen refrigerator, dirty drains, and an unhygienic chicken-cutting area.
Sabak Bernam District Council (MDSB) disclosed the findings in a statement, explaining that the inspection was carried out by their Health and Environment Services Department and Enforcement Department, starting at 9:30 am. Under the Food Establishment By-Laws (Sabak Bernam District Council) 2007, two premises were ordered closed for 14 days to ensure food establishments remain clean and safe for both customers and operators.
The council emphasized that their commitment to conducting regular inspections and monitoring food premises remains steadfast to maintain hygiene and food safety standards.
MDSB urged the public to report any unhygienic or unsafe food premises by lodging complaints with them. The council also stated that similar operations will be carried out periodically to safeguard public health and hygiene standards.
