Health officials slammed down hard on an illegal caterer after hundreds of college students landed in hospital beds with severe food poisoning. The rogue food operator had been dishing out meals to 427 unsuspecting victims at a private education institute without any government registration. Authorities discovered the kitchen criminal was cooking from a residential home rather than a proper commercial facility. Kelantan Health Department boss Datuk Dr Zaini Husin personally delivered the shutdown order that forces the business to close for seven days. Officials suspect tainted chicken curry caused the massive outbreak that sent students rushing to emergency rooms across Kota Bharu.
Medical teams report the crisis has finally stabilized with zero fresh cases emerging from the contaminated food disaster. Hospital staff released every single poisoned student after successful treatment for their stomach ailments. Laboratory technicians continue testing samples to confirm whether the spicy curry dish actually triggered the widespread illness. The unregistered caterer faces serious penalties under infectious disease prevention laws that require all food businesses to obtain proper health ministry approval. Dr Zaini announced the enforcement action during a major public health operation launch at the Pasir Mas District Health Office.
Government inspectors have been cracking down on rule breakers throughout the state with nearly half a million ringgit in fines collected during the first six months alone. Tobacco control violations netted authorities 35 cases worth 23,000 ringgit while food safety breaches generated over 30,000 ringgit in penalties.
