Gone are the days bro. When whacked us hard but delivered.

This entire thing is beyond sad. Wealth and power supersedes the welfare of the people. The new Singapore. This was not the country Goh Keng Swee and Rajaratnam had in mind. The government's motto is " money no enough". Nothing wrong with more money yeah ? One wonders how beholden the government is to these people.

Using a maid as a food taster may not work.

Your maid comes from the 3rd world & over the years probably has developed a higher tolerance against bacteria.
While you on the other have lived in a cleaner environment.

Saw this happen in Spore when someone visiting from Australia got an upset stomach after a meal. We were all eating at the same place but only this person got ill.

That woman can turn anything given to her into rubbish. Khoo bought the SCB stake for US$300m turned it into US$2.7B when our Dhanabalan identified talent Ho Ching took over. The word that comes to mind is malfeasance.



The late KTP was penalised to donate $180m to develop KTPH and forced to sell his stake in SCB to Temasek for his mishandling of the land purchase from Tan Siak Kew's estate located right next to Goodwood Park Hotel.

The late Mr Tan Siak Kew was the founder and former owner of Four Seas Communication Bank.

KTP's children are all laughing to the bank for the collapse of SCB share price which translates into huge gains for their forced sale of SCB to Temasek.

Sounds familiar. First case of poisoning reported on 15 March and after 75 more cases of poisoning and a month and a week later they finally closed the bakery on 21st April. Government depts involved are MOH, NEA and AVA.

Some interesting points
- 76 cases of poisoning
- all ate Durian pastries
- other food outlets that bought the durian pulp from the same supplier did not have any food poisoning case
- food poisoning cases started from March 15 and continued till April 16

Some questions to be asked
- why after the few cases of poisoning from the same outlet did the authorities did not stop the bakery
- why did the Hotel management continue operating the bakery despite continuous reporting of food poisoning
- why are 3 government agencies involved? Is there are a need for coordinating minister to be put in place at the next cabinet reshuffle
- do the policies require a death to occur before a bakery is stopped or is there a number threshold before a closure can be ordered
- why are the press not asking the right questions
- will there be inquiry why it took 76 cases and 5 weeks to act to prevent further cases.

Goodwood Park Hotel's bakery has had its food establishment licence suspended after 76 cases of food poisoning were linked to its popular durian pastries.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Environment Agency (NEA) investigated after the first incident was reported on March 15.

The ministry inspected the bakery after a second incident was reported on April 4. Joint investigations were conducted by the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA), MOH and NEA on April 13 after more incidents were reported.

Though lapses in food handling were discovered, there were no hygiene lapses or pests found. The AVA also did not find lapses in safety from food suppliers.

Stool samples from the affected parties as well as food handlers are currently being screened by MOH, and only handlers who have been certified medically fit will resume work after the bakery reopens.

All food handlers will also be required to retake and pass the Basic Food Hygiene course.

The hotel is required to clean and sanitise the bakery, including equipment, utensils, work surfaces and toilets, as well as rectify the identified food preparation lapses.

Goodwood Park Hotel has apologised to its guests and said it is cooperating with the agencies. "We would like to assure the public and all our guests that we treat all matters relating to food safety standards very seriously," it said in a Facebook post, adding that it is sourcing alternatives to the affected desserts from "reputable establishments".

Goodwood Park began offering durian desserts in 1983. Its durian- flavoured offerings have included puffs and cakes as well as seasonal treats like durian Christmas log cakes and mooncakes.

The latest news has shocked both patrons and food critics.

"Goodwood Park's durian pastries, especially the puffs, are dependably good and the hotel comes up with new offerings every year, so this comes as a real surprise," said Ms Tan Hsueh Yun, food editor for The Straits Times Life section.

Public relations executive and fan of Goodwood Park's pastries, Mr Jonathan Lim, 29, said he will give them another go if the licence is renewed, but added: "This is quite disappointing."

Goodwood Park is not a GLC but there are strong ties to the establishment. LHL's favourite hotel when he and the family are in London is Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington. It is the sister hotel of Goodwood Park. It is run by Jennifer Khoo who is the daughter of the late Khoo Teck Puat and younger sister of Mavis Khoo-Oei who is the Chairman of the company. Mavis and her sister Elizabeth when their late father died sold Standard Chartered Bank to Ho Ching in Temasek. It never went to the open market as the Govt had the sister over a barrel due to the Father's business shenanigans. Side issue - after Temasek took over as the largest single shareholder, SCB is in intensive care, still on life support.

My guess is that lower lights of the upper echelons decided that they had to help the PM and screwed this up. When they had 2nd and subsequent cases, they should have immediately sent all the staff for testing when the kitchen examination failed to find he cause.

Compare this case to the food poisoning that occurred in Prima Deli in 2007. It was first reported to the authorities on 23 Nov. By Dec 4, order was given to shut down 39 retail outlets and their factory in Keppel. Staff testing began within the first week of reporting. Total of 8 staff were found to carry the Salmonella bacteria. Also within the first week they identified the bacteria as Salmonella and this was mentioned in the press at that time.

Note on this case after 5 weeks, and 76 cases, not mention of the bacteria. Only talk about Durian pastries. Clearly the Press here is also playing ball. It is a blood disgrace.

Goodwood Park Hotel bakery suspended following several food poisoning cases




tnp-goodwoodpark.jpg



They might be famous for their durian pastries but these treats are reportedly the cause of not one, but 76 food poisoning cases at Goodwood Park Hotel's bakery as of Thursday (Apr 21).

The National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Friday (April 22) in a joint statement with the Ministry of Health (MOH), and Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) that it has suspended the licence of Goodwood Park Hotel's bakery.


It also ordered the hotel to cease the production, sale and distribution of all pastries that are prepared by its bakery and to dispose of all pastries prepared there with immediate effect, until further notice.

Investigations into the alleged food poisoning incidents that happened between March 15 and April 16 this year are ongoing.

These incidents traced to the consumption of durian pastries prepared at Goodwood Park Hotel, located at 22 Scotts Road.

The hotel has been selling durian pastries for the past 33 years.

According to a post on Goodwood Park Hotel's Facebook page, their bakery will not be able to produce desserts for these restaurants: Gordon Grill, L’Espresso, Coffee Lounge and Deli. The hotel added that they have "sourced from reputable establishments for alternatives to replace the affected desserts".

NEA has also required the hotel to clean and sanitise the bakery, including equipment, utensils, work surfaces and toilets, and review and rectify the lapses in food preparation processes identified during the joint inspections.

MOH had initiated investigations when the first food poisoning incident was notified on March 15. The next day, NEA inspected the bakery's premises.

After the second incident was reported, MOH stepped up investigations and inspected the bakery's premises of Goodwood Park Hotel on April 4.

Subsequently on April 13, the three agencies conducted joint investigations at Goodwood Park Hotel when more incidents linked to their durian pastries were reported.

MOH's investigations found that the consumption of the hotel's durian pastries was the "only common epidemiological link".

Some lapses in food handling were also found at the durian pastry kitchen of the hotel's bakery.

However, the premises was found to be clean with proper housekeeping and refuse management with no signs of pest activity and hygiene lapse, said the government agencies.


AVA has conducted checks at Goodwood Park Hotel's food ingredients suppliers, including their durian pulp supplier. No food safety lapses have been found at the suppliers' establishments so far.

There were also no other complaints of food poisoning from other establishments that used the durian pulp from the same supplier as Goodwood Park Hotel's.

MOH has collected stool samples from those affected and from food handlers, who have been sent for screening. Only those who are certified medically fit will be allowed to resume work after medical clearance by MOH, when the bakery is allowed to resume operations.


All food handlers working in the bakery are also required to re-attend and pass the Basic Food Hygiene Course, before they can resume work as food handlers.

MOH and NEA are monitoring the situation closely, said the statement.

NEA added that it will take the necessary enforcement actions if any hygiene infringements are found.

.....the FT working there.......

..........walk through the bakery & coffeehouse and I noticed many PRC staffs......

... Prima Deli case where faecal matter was also found and it involved PRC staff......

This is not some roadside rojak stall, but a 5 star hotel. If you cannot even trust the cleanliness/hygiene in a 5 star hotel outlet, it says how much the country has gone backwards so that we can accommodate these foreign "talents".
Will anything change?-I very much doubt so as not a single ruling party political appointment holders was held to task for the 8 hepatitis deaths in SGH .
WP still sleeping? Can we trust the people of BB to send CSJ to ask some brave questions in Parliament or do we have to wait for a teenager like Amos or someone like Roy to speak up.
