New Year Lite : Using Nails For Food Packets in Kelantan ?

 

• Nasi Paku’ : Child Undergoes Surgery To Remove Nail In Stomach
• Kelantan getting attention for packaging foods with nails - ‘Nasi Paku’.
• child reportedly swallowed nail
• child had emergency surgery.
• kanak² telan paku
• Public Health Malaysia informed that nails are food hazard
• restaurants be penalized under Food Act 1983 for food hazard
• rubber bands easier and safer 

My comments :

We must be grateful to Public Health Malaysia for telling the public that nails are food hazards.

If Public Health did not say so, I believe many people would not know. They would go about happily chewing and swallowing nails. And then rushing to the hospital for emergency surgery.

Just when you thought these folks had hit the bottom of being dumb they dig a hole at the bottom of the pit and fall in deeper. 

Using nails to pack a nasi lemak packet? I say why not use a 'lidi' like before? Or use a toothpick. Nails? 

What next? Screws?
