The use of benzoic and boric acid is so rampant in Malaysia.Back in the eighties,over 10 children died in Perak due to consumption of loh see fun tainted with one of the two acids.The factory owners here are so greedy.
They use it without qualms to increase the volume of the produce with less flour and also to lend the noodles a sheer,fine and smooth sheen.
As an example,f you compare Malay assam laksa noodles to the chinese version,the chinese noodles are so smooth they slide into your mouth,whereas the Malay noodles which are made from real rice grains are coarse and lumpy.When exposed to the wind the Malay version will harden whereas the chinese one will still remain moist and picture perfect.This unnatural state of affairs is attributed to the much touted cooling properties of the two acids amongst the chinese community.
This is a myth.
Don't let them mess with your head.The smoothness of the chinese noodles is not because they have better kungfu,it is because they wrongly misused science for profit without a regard for our safety.
If you have ever been into Wang Kelian you will notice a stark difference between the salted fish sold on both sides of the border.While our local businessmen are quick to put the blame on excessive use of banned pesticides and preservatives found in our local fruits,salted produce,vegetables,pickles etc on their foreign counterparts,it is here that you will bear witness to who is the liar.
The Thai version attracts tons of flies,on the Malaysian side,there is not one fly stupid enough to partake of this deadly meal.
This means that when the local wholesalers import in foreign produce,they,the locals are the real culprits that lace the products with banned chemicals.It is for this reason that some food sellers will not consume their own products because they know what is in it.
The rest of you can die,so long as they far chye.What bastards!
In this newest case the owner is a repeat offender.
It took the Malay people to fine him.
Why are our own chinese people protecting this bloody fat ass?
Get a copy of today's northern edition The Star to see this criminals face.And if eventually you end up with stomach cancer(where the patients are predominantly chinese) in Mount Miriam,take his name to the grave with you and come back for his descendants
