Dirty Bangsar eatery slapped with 3 more health violations
The offences pertain to food handlers, anti-pest rules and failing to register with the health ministry as a food outlet.
The restaurant operator may be brought to court for violating food safety laws.
PETALING JAYA: A restaurant in Bangsar which washed plates in the back lane and was shuttered by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall for health violations this morning received three more notices from the Health Department for breaking national food safety laws.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the three further offences are pertaining to food handlers, anti-pest rules and failing to register with the health ministry as a food outlet.
“We are looking at this case seriously.
“We would like to advise the public to not eat at unhygienic premises,” he said in a statement today.
Hisham said the three notices were issued under Section 32B of the Food Act 1983.
This section empowers the Health Department to drag the restaurant operator to court to face charges for offences under the act.
Yesterday, a video showing the restaurant’s workers washing used plates by rinsing them in a pothole filled with kitchen waste went viral.
Authorities from City Hall, Health Department and the human resources ministry descended on the outlet this morning. The outlet was already closed when the officers arrived.
The restaurant operator had issued an apology on Facebook, saying the workers were newly-hired and promised to ensure the incident would not happen again.
