A recent news report by Bernama touched on the topic of cleanliness in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. It was a brief acknowledgment that beach cleanliness and proper food preparation along Port Dickson coast was a priority and that there was still much to be done to improve the standard of cleanliness in general.
Port Dickson is a favourite weekend destination for locals
This acknowledgment comes following a report by an online news portal that a Russian tourist had complained about a food court in Telok Kemang, especially the low standard of cleanliness. This brings us to the favourite question of hygiene and food, and will Malaysia ever be free of complaints about dirty food and filthy stalls. The general standard does not seem so bad when we compare ourselves with some countries, especially India, but are we just trying to justify our own failings?
Tell us what YOU think.

Beach cleanliness and proper food preparation along the Port Dickson coast was a priority of the state government, said Negeri Sembilan Tourism Malaysia director Hishamuddin Mustafa.
Despite this, he said, there were still food stall operators along the 18km stretch along the beach who failed to heed attention to cleanliness, especially in preparing food.
“Actually, Port Dickson is situated in an area that is always monitored by the state government and local authorities, especially in terms of cleanliness.
“However, I do not deny there are stalls by the beach that do not meet standards, but they will be watched by the Port Dickson Municipal Council (MPPD),” he told reporters after the pre-launch of the Malaysia Water Festival Port Dickson 2011 by Tourism Malaysia Marketing Division director Datuk Kamarudin Abu at the Malaysia Tourism Centre here Wednesday.
Hishamuddin was commenting on reports in a news portal that a Russian tourist was appalled by the sorry state of affairs at a food court in Telok Kemang.
According to the tourist, water used to make drinks, food and clean dishes were dirty while toilets and sinks were filthy.
To overcome the problem, Hishamuddin said the MPPD was in the process of relocating about 120 stalls to a new area, about 500 metres away.
