Glad to have sought the help of Express
Published on: Sunday, May 26, 2019
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.
