MUAR: Eighty-three pupils of SK Parit Setongkat here suffered food
poisoning after drinking milk supplied under the free milk scheme.
The
pupils, from Year One to Year Six, started vomiting and purging 30
minutes after drinking the milk during recess at about 10am yesterday.
School
authorities, which stopped the media from entering the compound,
alerted the Health Department, which rushed teams to the school.
One of the pupils said he had to run to the toilet after drinking the milk.
“I
vomited three times when I was in the toilet and purged twice. After I
returned to my class, several friends also suffered similar pains. My
teacher quickly took us to another room,” he said at his house near
here.
According to the boy, affected pupils were given jabs and medication and remained in school until 1.20pm.
State
Women, Family, Health and Community Development Committee chairman Dr
Robia Kosai said cases of food poisoning in schools should be resolved
fast.
“We want the Health Department and those related with food
supplied at all schools to ensure all food is fresh and clean,” she
added.
