Food Poisoning- A question of the quality of hawker centres

Recently, most of you should have know that there was a controversy of food poisoning in Geylang when many people are found to be sick and even dead after eating rojak from the particular stall.

This is simply appalling. This not only tarnish our hawker centre's reputation, it also affects the tourism. Think about the consequences. Because of one that could not be bothered for the hygiene for his stall, it resulted in death. The direct impact was already a serious one.

I suggest that NEA make it a law that stalls should put up their hygiene grade of the most updated one. Most people have a habit of taking a look at the hygiene grade and decided whether to order food. However, most stalls had played "cheat" and used their old grade instead. This causes two innocent lives to be taken away.

In my opinion, the stallholder must be severely punished of his acts that resulted in such a havoc and a inconvenience for his fellow stallholders. This deterred locals and tourists away from eating at this hawker centre. A twenty year time behind the bars and a heavy fine should do the job.

I also suggest that the goverment introduce a policy for 75% of a food court stalls to have at least a b grade or else be forced to close. NEA would allow half year for stalls to improve on their hygiene before they would check again. In other words, chances would be given. This could 'inspire' them to maintain clean in fear of closure. They would also help one another.

Back to the consequences, this may also affect Singapore's economy as there are lesser revenue for tourism which is caused by the tarnish of bad reputation for the hawker centres. They could link the Newton Food Centre Case with this one together and thus have the wrong perception that food in Singapore is expensive and dirty in Singapore.

Plan backfired?

Well, today, while I was in my house, looking at the scenery from my flat's window, I saw a far stretch of "field" that was situated on the top storey of the carpark. I was quite shocked that there was this 'field' on the carpark. However, I recalled the newspaper article saying that goverment had been considering whether to put pots on the carpark to refresh the air especially in the Woodlands Industrial Area which I had been living in. Obviously, this plan backfired. You could easily see that all the grass had been dried up. The grass had turned brown and it is a unsightly sight to see.
I suggest that the goverment remove this plants away as this would affect the tourists that come here. However, i think it was a good move initiated by the goverment. This is a sign that Goverment are finally reacting to the woodlands resident on the air. This is not good for those that have asthma(like me!) and thus affecting their health. Maybe, the woodlands area should have more shrubs by the pavement as I noticed that some trees had been uprooted to avoid disrupting traffic so shrubs should not be a problem. The Residential Comitee may want to also consider starting a club where all the retirees can plant and nurture trees together. This not only beautify the environment, it also help stregthen bonds between them.
