Poisonous noodles

The case of poisonous instant noodles in Sumatra, which
claimed five lives, proves that protection for consumers is weak.
The incident took place in April, but there has been no serious
handling of the matter since then. The society, however, has been
warned not to eat instant noodles for the time being.

That is why, perhaps, the Sriwijaya Military Commander
suggested that, pending investigation of the poison, the products
suspected of containing poison be withdrawn from the market.

This action would be good because we cannot wait until more
people become victims.

It is high time the government take necessary measures by
setting up a fact-finding team to investigate the source of the
deadly poison.
