This really stupid and satanic idea of spitting into food which has been photographed and even filmed at some local restaurants has to stop yesterday. I hope the relevant restaurant associations will take emergency steps to advise their member restaurants to make sure that this type of stupidity does not happen at all. It does not matter if it is just one restaurant that did this or if it involved a hundred restaurants, this sick habit has to stop yesterday. The good reputation of all restaurants has been tarnished.
Recently another case of spitting into food went viral.
In this case above, the DBKL has taken action against the offending restaurant and compounded them. Here is the DBKL's public notification (via Facebook).
I disagree that the DBKL only issue compounds (fines). Maybe they did not have enough evidence for the spitting incident other than that viral video.
If there is enough evidence that they spit into the food, the business license of the offending restaurant should be immediately terminated. They are endangering public health and human life.
Azlan Adnan's Green Party of Malaysia has also uploaded their latest video discussing this very issue, featuring Imraz Ikhbal (the Voice).

From the obvious public concerns about this practise, it sounds like this spitting into the food is not just a few isolated cases.
Once again I appeal to the relevant restaurant owners associations to organise a quick emergency meeting and tell all your members to observe the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness at all times in your restaurants. And do not mix khurafat beliefs with your restaurant businesses.
Each time you hire a new foreign worker (they are usually lowly educated, almost illiterate and often unbelievably stupid) teach them and train them to forget about any stupid habits they may have been taught in their own countries. Tell them this is Malaysia and if you spit in the food, you can lose your business license.
