Glad to have sought the help of Express

I’m writing to let you know how grateful I am for the assistance of Daily Express. I developed diarrhoea after eating some fish that I had bought at the KK central market on 12 May 2019. As I was mulling whether to lodge a complaint or not, I came across this FB post (dated 17 May 2019) by a State Minister on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2200336283391277&id=302710879820503

I commented on his post to warn people about buying seafood at the KK central market. I also said I had diarrhoea after eating the fish bought from there.

I kept the leftover, uncooked fish in my freezer as I wanted to have it tested for contamination but didn’t know who to contact.

I thought he’d be kind enough to advise me. Instead, he deleted my comments and has blocked me from commenting. What an irresponsible and unethical minister! His actions say a lot about his character and integrity.

My friend then suggested that I contactDaily Express. I’m glad I did. Your staff provided me with the State Health Department Tel. no. and address.

I brought the fish there right away so it can be sent to a lab to be tested. Results should be available in two weeks.

I want to prevent and raise awareness of possibly unscrupulous sellers at the KK central market, who are/were selling contaminated seafood that’s risky to our health.

If not for the kind assistance of Daily Express, I’d have given up on lodging a complaint and just thrown the fish away.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the appreciation. We do not wish to judge or comment on this State Minister’s action.

Where we are concerned, we do not turn away anyone who seeks our help. Many were, like you, glad that they did. – ED
