Majlis Dearah

I went to Pasar Malam the other day and I noticed much of the food sold there were tainted by coloring substance to make them look nice. My favorite nasi kerabu has been colored light blue and the budu that goes with it, dark brown. If you buy ABC, chances are the green color of the cendol does not come from pandan leaves, as it was in the past but from something closer to water color. The list is endless. Some of the coloring substance has been known to cause cancer.

Majlis Dearah is supposed to monitor the safety of food put on sale to the public. But they are not interested in such mundane routine. That is why I said so many times before, we should have professionals in Majlis Dearah, who are elected by the people, not political appointees who are responsible to their political boss.

So UMNO please be warned
