They should also be courteous and safeguard the safety of those who come to patronise their stalls, Daro assemblyman Safiee Ahmad said.
“Every food and beverages and others that are prepared must not only look delicious and tasty. The aspect of health and safety of patrons is always a priority and should not be overlooked,” he told Utusan Borneo when met at the Majlis Perasmian Bazaar Ramadan Daro and the distribution of ‘Bubur Lambuk, Bubur Pedas, Bubur Kacang’ and cakes on Monday evening.

“There is nothing wrong in spending money but you must spend it wisely,” he added,
