A sign of the times

The Health Department of Malaysia’s Negeri Sembilan state has denied selling ‘Dilarang Merokok’ (No Smoking) signboards at food eateries and restaurants in the state, according to a Malaysian National News Agency story.
In addition, the department has denied appointing third parties, including health officers, to sell the signboards to eateries and restaurants in Negeri Sembilan.
The chairman of the state Action Committee on Health, Environment, Co-operatives and Consumer Affairs, S. Veerapan, said members of the public and food operators should be wary of anybody claiming to be health officers and wanting to sell any product or collect donations.
