Three die of alleged food poisoning

PADANG, West Sumatra: Three people have died and scores of others
were hospitalized on Sunday for alleged food poisoning in

drinking cendol -- small, rice-flour beads used in shaved ice
beverages -- served during a public function in Batu Ampar
subdistrict.

Roza Indriani, a doctor at a local hospital, said the hospital
admitted at least 19 victims on Sunday. -- Antara
