One died from food poisoning in Singapore

This is really terrible.In our country we do hear of this. Normally, as a policy, we avoid eating out , buying things from roadside stalls during monsoons.Somehow, eating out during the monsoon definitely gives rise to some sort of side effect.In our country, water is itself a problem in many palces--say in railway stations etc.., tap water used to be happily used by us when we were young.Why, even some twenty years ago I have got down from a train to get water from a tap.But, nowadays we opt only for the mineral water sold in sealed bottles.Even here , sometimes people cheat and give spurious watr.We just place our faith in God and take it .What else can we do during travel?

There have been cases of food poisoning in my country, mostly affecting school children. There were also mild cases which went unreported in the media. The standard of food hygiene is supposed tob e high but due to reasons which those involved are in a better position to answer there is lax enforcement of the rules. Many food stall and canteen operators employ foreigners, some of them illegal. I have become choosy when it comes to eating or drinking outside. Cases of bad experiences include diarrhoea after drinking tea with milk, and a strong smell of faeces in a roti canai. Better be hungry than falling sick. all the best, rosdimy
