The Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) ordered the closure of an eatery on August 8, 2026. This action followed a health inspection that uncovered serious hygiene violations. Inspectors discovered flies in soup and fly eggs on raw chicken, which posed significant contamination risks. The establishment received a cleanliness score of only 65 percent, categorizing it as Grade C.

The MBJB spokesman reported several alarming findings during the inspection. Food handlers at the eatery had not received anti-typhoid vaccinations and lacked the necessary food handler certificates. Furthermore, the sink was not fitted with a grease trap, allowing food waste and wash water to flow directly into public drains. The cooking area was messy, with food waste and grease spills present. In the preparation area, food items were stored uncovered and exposed to flies. The refrigerator conditions were unsanitary, with disorganized storage and spilled food waste. Workers were also observed without proper caps, aprons, or footwear while handling food.

The closure was enforced under By-law 49(1) of the MBJB Licensing of Trades, Businesses and Industries By-laws 2016. The MBJB emphasized that maintaining hygiene is not merely about fulfilling licensing requirements; it is a fundamental duty to public health and safety. The council plans to continue its routine inspections and enforcement actions to ensure that all eateries in Johor Baru comply with health and hygiene standards. This incident underscores the importance of compliance in the food service industry to protect consumer health.

Apa yang berlaku

Majlis Bandaraya Johor Baru (MBJB) mengarahkan penutupan sebuah restoran pada 8 Ogos 2026. Tindakan ini diambil selepas pemeriksaan kesihatan yang mendedahkan pelanggaran kebersihan yang serius. Pemeriksa menemui lalat dalam sup dan telur lalat pada ayam mentah, yang menimbulkan risiko pencemaran yang signifikan. Premis tersebut menerima skor kebersihan hanya 65 peratus, mengkategorikannya sebagai Gred C.

Jurucakap MBJB melaporkan beberapa penemuan yang membimbangkan semasa pemeriksaan. Pengendali makanan di restoran tersebut tidak menerima vaksin anti-typhoid dan tidak mempunyai sijil pengendali makanan yang diperlukan. Selain itu, singki tidak dilengkapi dengan perangkap lemak, membenarkan sisa makanan dan air basuhan mengalir terus ke dalam longkang awam. Kawasan memasak adalah kotor, dengan sisa makanan dan tumpahan lemak yang ada. Di kawasan penyediaan, barangan makanan disimpan tanpa penutup dan terdedah kepada lalat. Keadaan peti sejuk tidak bersih, dengan penyimpanan yang tidak teratur dan sisa makanan yang tumpah. Pekerja juga diperhatikan tanpa topi, apron, atau kasut yang sesuai semasa mengendalikan makanan.

Penutupan ini dikuatkuasakan di bawah Peraturan 49(1) Peraturan MBJB mengenai Lesen Perdagangan, Perniagaan dan Industri 2016. MBJB menekankan bahawa mengekalkan kebersihan bukan sekadar memenuhi keperluan pelesenan; ia adalah tanggungjawab asas terhadap kesihatan dan keselamatan awam. Majlis merancang untuk meneruskan pemeriksaan rutin dan tindakan penguatkuasaan bagi memastikan semua restoran di Johor Baru mematuhi standard kesihatan dan kebersihan. Insiden ini menekankan kepentingan pematuhan dalam industri perkhidmatan makanan untuk melindungi kesihatan pengguna.

事件概述

柔佛巴鲁市议会(MBJB)于2026年8月8日下令关闭一家餐馆。此举是在一次健康检查后采取的,检查发现了严重的卫生违规行为。检查员发现汤中有苍蝇,生鸡肉上有苍蝇卵,这构成了显著的污染风险。该餐馆的清洁评分仅为65%,被归类为C级。

MBJB发言人在检查期间报告了几项令人担忧的发现。餐馆的食品处理人员未接种抗伤寒疫苗,也缺乏必要的食品处理证书。此外,水槽没有安装油脂隔离器,导致食物废物和洗涤水直接流入公共排水系统。烹饪区域杂乱无章,存在食物废物和油脂溢出。在准备区域,食品未覆盖存放,暴露在苍蝇下。冰箱的卫生条件不合格,存储杂乱,食物废物洒落。工作人员在处理食品时也被观察到没有佩戴适当的帽子、围裙或鞋子。

此次关闭是根据MBJB 2016年《贸易、商业和工业许可条例》第49(1)条款执行的。MBJB强调,维护卫生不仅仅是满足许可要求;这是对公共健康和安全的基本责任。市议会计划继续进行例行检查和执法行动,以确保柔佛巴鲁的所有餐馆遵守健康和卫生标准。这一事件突显了食品服务行业遵守规定的重要性,以保护消费者健康。
