UNLICENSED FOOD STALL OPERATOR FINED
The Urban Services Department is stepping up its efforts to
eurb all unlicensed food businesses in the interests of public health.
The spokesman said that the seriousness of the offence was
receiving wider attention and more severe punishment for those convicted.
He cited one recent case in which the court imposed a fine
of $750 on an operator of an unlicensed food stall in Pei Ho Street,
Kowloon,
The spokesman said: "We will continue to request the courts
to impose daily fines and severe punishment on these operators as a
deterrent against this public health hazard."
