SINGAPORE: Twenty-five food operators had their licences temporarily suspended in the first half of this year. Of these, 56 per cent were due to pest infestations. This is compared with 64 per cent last year.

The Singapore Pest Management Association says pest infestations are difficult to eliminate as kitchens are often crowded and messy, and food that is improperly stored lures pests such as cockroaches and mice.

Food operators whose stalls are infested with pests can be fined up to S$2,000 and incur six demerit points. Failure to maintain a clean area can also lead to licence suspension.

The National Environment Agency recently said it would take action against a chicken rice stall at a Marina Bay Sands foodcourt, after a photograph of several cockroaches at the stall went viral on social media.
