Parliament cafeteria shut down two weeks over health violations


KUALA LUMPUR: The main cafeteria within the Parliament building has been ordered to shut down for two weeks for health violations.

According to a notice from the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya Health Department, the cafeteria was ordered to close from 6pm on Nov 13 to Nov 26, issued under Section 11 of the Food Act 1983.

Lack of cleanliness is said to be the reason for its closure.

The current Dewan Rakyat meeting, which began on Oct 14, ends on Dec 12.

The cafeteria was operating on Wednesday morning before it closed.

Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul later said that he would summon everyone involved in the matter after the Wednesday (Nov 13) Parliament meeting.

“I want to know what happened and tomorrow (Nov 14) I will inform the status of my investigation tonight,” he said.

This is believed to be the first time the Parliament cafeteria has been ordered to close due to hygiene issues.
