I think everyone heard about the food poisoning incident at the Geylang Serai market shows how poor hygiene can have a wide impact on public health.Singaporeans view hygiene as part of gracious behaviour, during a community event to welcome new resident or something else.

This is what Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said If you have poor hygiene in public places, littering, food all over the place, rats running around the market, that's very ungracious behaviour,'

What he said is very true.The incident suggested something was amiss but stressed that Members of Parliament for the area were quick to respond and were not absent, as some rumours had it.So we should do something about it.We shouldn't let other counties people say Singapore people are so ungracious.
