The certificates were presented to 12 eateries under the governance of the KB-Seria Municipal Department that went through the 2016 phase 1 evaluation during a ceremony held at the atrium of the Sentral Shopping Centre, yesterday.
Haji Ali bin Matyassin, Chairman of KB-Seria Municipal Board, said 11 of the recipients acquired Grade ‘A’ and one restaurant Grade ‘B’ in the evaluation.
“The Inspection Committee found that the managers of the premises have made a positive change and their performance is the product of their ‘willingness to change’ attitude towards maintaining a hygiene culture,” the chairman said, adding that the public will be more keen on visiting the food premises that display the grades of exceptional hygiene recognised by the government.
