SANDAKAN: Karamunting Community Development Leader Datuk Chew Kok Woh said that instead of fighting over issues involving traditional foods like Bak Kut Teh, politicians should concentrate on the country’s economic recovery.

He said this in reaction to the recent debate at the Dewan Rakyat regarding Bak Kut Teh’s inclusion on the list of traditional foods in Malaysia.
