Hygience is important

Never judge a book by its cover.
I was quite impressed when I set foot in the canteen during the first day I was in a new school I had transferred to. The canteen was comparatively cleaner and neater than that of my previous school. However, I was disappointed when I saw the canteen operators, they looked untidy. I wondered, did they look after the canteen? Besides, the spoons and plates were oily and sometimes, I could see some food fragments stuck on the spoons! That was disgusting!
Not long ago, something even worse happened till I could not stand to buy food at the canteen. During the recess, I bought a bowl of noodles and while I was ready to sip the soup, oh goodness, a dead fly was in my soup! I was lucky to discover the dead fly earlier, or else I would probably be hospitalized. I immediately rushed to a canteen staff to show them the contaminated soup noodles and asked them to give me a plate of "nasi lemak" instead, as I did not want that dish anymore. Imagine my shock when the staff coolly told me,"lalat tu baru masuk aje (that fly has just dropped into the soup)!" Gosh, didn't she know that a fly can cause diseases?
There had been some cases of food poisoning that happened in some schools. Therefore, the hygiene in a canteen should be given much concern as about thousands of students are having their breakfast there. All of them might be the victims of food poisoning if the food sold is not hygienic. In my opinion, the powers that be should demand all the canteen operators to look after the hygiene of canteens and food as well.
Early measures must be taken to prevent tragedies, not to take actions after something bad has happened.
