Trainees down with food poisoning

LUMUT: Some 155 national service trainees at the Teluk Rubiah camp here came down with food poisoning yesterday and were rushed to the Seri Manjung Hospital.

They were brought to the hospital at 7.20am after suffering from stomach ache, diarrhoea and vomiting following a meal of chicken chop at the camp’s canteen.

A hospital spokesman said most of the trainees had been sent back to the camp after treatment but eight were warded.

The camp commandant, Commander K. Kannan, declined to comment and asked newsmen to contact the national service department headquarters in Kuala Lumpur for information.

Manjung police chief ACP Mohd Jamil Osman said police had yet to receive any reports on the incident from the Seri Manjung Hospital or the management of the Teluk Rubiah camp. — Bernama

I'm really sick of this National Service. From time to time you read about death, food poisoning & gang fights. Don't they (the powers that be) have any concern on our children's well-being?

How would you feel if your child is selected? I'll be damned worried I tell you.

Any VIP's sons or ministers daughters have ever been 'selected'?
Since this program is the brain child of Najib Tun Razak, he should offer to enrol his son to participate!

From now on, the scope of my blog will revolve around news on the Malaysia National Service & mat rempits.
