KUCHING: Traders at the Stutong Ramadan Bazaar are reminded to practise good hygiene and keep their premises clean.
Housing Assistant Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said this is ensure the food and drinks that they sell are not contaminated and are of good quality.
“The purpose of setting up stalls here is to sell food and beverages for profit. However, the traders must ensure that food quality is not compromised.
“Make sure the food is fresh and not recycled so that customers will be attracted to patronise the stalls,” he said at the official launch of the Ramadan Bazaar at the Stutong Community Market here yesterday.
On another note, Abdul Karim said the bazaar is a good platform to improve and foster closer ties among the many races in the city.
“As we can see, there are people of various races patronising the bazaar. Such is the spirit of 1Malaysia that we want to inculcate in everyone,” he noted.
The Stutong Ramadan Bazaar is an annual affair organised by MBKS since 2008.
It has 129 stalls, with 51 selling cooked food, 41 selling ‘kuih’, 19 selling drinks and 18 selling deep-fried food.
The bazaar operates from 3pm to 7pm daily until August 7.
Also present at the launch were MBKS mayor Dato James Chan, deputy mayor Abang Affandi Abang Annuar, acting secretary John Lee and Ramadan Bazaar organising chairperson councillor Hariah Idris.
