| description | TOWARDS THE YEAR END, CONCERN about food poisoning mounted after a number of such cases were
reported, both locally and globally. So too was the increasing concern about the problem of drug abuse.
For Malaysia, in particular, the announcement that our fight against drug abuse had come to nought was a
terrible blow, given the emerging problem of "ecstasy." Overall, it was a sad way to end the year.
September
Concern about food poisoning continued in the month of September. Japan's Health and Welfare Ministry were
still at a loss as to the source of food contaminated with E. coli bacillus 0157,
which left about 10,000 people
sick nationwide and about 200 hospitalised. At the same time, the mayor of Sakai, the city most badly bit by
the epidemic said he would take a 40% paycut
for six months beginning October as he felt responsible for the
epidemic. |
