Unhygienic drinking

Unhygienic drinking
water for sale?

From Pos Kota

There is a place in Jatikramat, Bekasi, that sells drinking
water without first boiling or processing it hygienically. To
attract customers, particularly children, they add coloring (red,
green, yellow, etc., known to be unhealthy and harmful) and
sweeten the bottled drink.

Vendors usually sell a glass of the colorful drinking water
around schools at Rp 500 or Rp 1000. They pour the water into
glasses and then put some ice into it.

I would like to appeal to the authorities, particularly those
concerned with drug and food control, to stop this activity.
