Rojak man cleans up his stall
Singapore, April 8, 2009 – After being hit by one of the worst food poisoning cases in Singapore, Geylang Serai Temporary Market embarked on a 2-day spring cleaning yesterday.
Joining in the major operation was the stallholder of Rojak Geylang Serai, Mr Allaudin whose rojak had caused 137 people to fall ill since last Friday. Two of them died.
The remorseful man who told one newspaper that he would take the rap for what happened was seen cleaning his stall yesterday. He had been ordered to shut his stall pending the results of the investigation by the health and environment authorities.
The market has been shut since yesterday for the joint cleaning exercise by the market’s management committee and the National Environment Agency.
In their letter to stallholders, it said every stallholder has to clean their premises “thoroughly” and “discard all unwanted articles.”
In addition, all stallholders must attend a talk on proper housekeeping and hygiene matters at Kampong Ubi CC on Thursday.
The authorities as well as the public had expressed concern about the food poisoining outbreak at an Indian rojak stall that has taken its toll on its patrons – one woman dead, one in coma, one had a miscarriage and one hundred others sick.
