Yah Lah BUT...

#622 - Total Defence Exercise Leads to Food Poisoning & Pregnant Hawker Forced to Stand

Feb 21, 2025

A Total Defence food resilience exercise took a wrong turn when 20 students fell ill after eating ready-to-eat meals catered by SATS, a major food supplier. With 100,000 meals already distributed, should the program be paused completely? Meanwhile, a Nasi Lemak hawker has publicly questioned the requirement for hawkers to be physically present at their stalls everyday, thus putting the National Environment Agency’s tenancy rules under the spotlight. Are NEA’s requirements outdated, or necessary to protect hawker culture?
