Kota Kinabalu: City Hall (DBKK) took some 80 food samples from Ramadan Bazaar stalls around the city centre for checks.
Mayor Datuk Seri Dr Sabin Samitah said the samples were taken during a two-week operation together with the Ministry of Health and relevant agencies.
“So far, no food contamination was detected,” he said at the DBKK’s breaking of fast ceremony with the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin, here, on Wednesday.
To ensure cleanliness, Sabin said DBKK personnel cleaned the places immediately at the end of each sales session.
“Ramadan bazaar traders are also found to be complying with the DBKK rules to dispose of food waste at designated places,” he said.
At the event, 20 tahfiz students from Madrasah Al Tahfiz Al Quran Nahdatul Ilmiah received cash donations presented by Juhar who was accompanied by his consort Toh Puan Norlidah R.M Jasni.
Five mosques received prayer mat donations.
They were Masjid Al-Hidayah Sabang Baru Numbak, Manggatal; Masjid Nur-Hidayah Kg Boronuon, Telipok; Ar-Ramadan Mosque Kg. Kalansanan, Inanam; Al-Munir Mosque Kg Darau, Manggatal and Raudah Mosque Kg Bandulan, Manggatal.
