KUCHING (March 28): Ramadan bazaar traders must maintain a high standard of hygiene when handling and preparing food and drinks sold to the public, said Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali.

Speaking at the official opening of the Sukma Ria Ramadan Bazaar at Taman Sukma in Petra Jaya here today, the Samariang assemblywoman said doing so would avert incidences of food poisoning which would tarnish the image of the traders.
