  • Ummi Abdullah: Suspension Of My Ambeng Cafe May Be Sabotage Job

    Ummi Abdullah: Suspension Of My Ambeng Cafe May Be Sabotage Job

    Salam Semua,

    This will be a long post, I been thinking about it and after much contemplating, I feel the need to talk about this because there is something we can learn here.

    I guess its no longer a secret after the media decide to publish the news of Ambeng Cafe being suspended because of cockroaches.

    Few months back I receive a PM from a man name Raimi Hairil. He told me that his family is down with food poisoning and asked me for a refund and pay the medical bill, since he went to company doc there is no payment from him thus no reciept so I dont know how much must pay him.

    As usual Im worried so I still decide to refund and pay his medical bill. So as a procedure I ask for his medical bill even though I dont know how much is it. He sent a few to me. After looking at the bill, I realise the medicine that was given to his daughter is for cough, phelgm and not one medicine for diarhea. As an adult u can cheat doc, but a child cannot.

    As I have children, I use to see this medicine.

    So I ask for his explanation, and he is unhappy. He say he is going to the authority with this. Me on the other hand think that, I have nothing to be afraid. I am very very clean with my work. And since you are reporting, i cannot do anything about it.

    I decide to not pay him, its not much, but its not right. Its against my integrity as a person. Im not going to pay him so that he keep quiet. I won’t do that. Thats not me. I did nothing wrong why must I be afraid.

    And so I left him there, without paying him.

    After a week, NEA officer come and they say they recieve a feedback. The Officer name Farhanah, go to my kitchen and do her rounds, and she did not find anything in the kitchen.

    She proceed to the bar, and pull my ice machine. There she found cockroached. Beside this ice machine, we put carton of can drinks. For this I was given 6 points.

    Then she proceed to check my staff, one of them is only 2 weeks old and as he is a malaysian we have to wait for the malay class. Nevertheless, he was caught doing packing. For that I was given 6 points.

    With 12 points I was suspended.

    So today, the internet is splash with the news of Ambeng Cafe being suspended. And guess what, Mr Raimi Hairil, sent me a pm with a thumbs up. I actually already forgot about him.

    How bad can someone be? Do you need to do send me a thumbs up? What benefit you get. This is the business life in Singapore, if people complain about anything officer come and check, and as a big operation they can definately find something. To accept someone complain for food poisoning, you must take stool test and all. So leceh, check first. Wallah they found something.

    For 7 years I cook, no food poisoning case. And the coacroach issue it took me 2 hours to clear. And for my staff he already went for the course. Don’t I deserve a warning?

    Anyway I ask for the pic of the so call infestation, they do not want to give me. Like I say, if they want to find something they can.

    Anyway, this is something i will always face, customers who want to take advantage, officer coming to check, its part of this business that I have chosen, right now I just focus on getting better. With this incident, it just taught me more and my staff and I just get more closer as everyone finally realise how bad things can be id we lapse or not focus.

    To Raimi Hairi, I am very proud of my self for not giving in to you. I stand still. I know I can silent you with money. I know I will get into trouble but I have integrity. This case today its not about you, its about coackroach, but you sending me a thumbs up and being sarcastic just show what kind of person you are. You take pleasure in someone misery.

    You may not involve in this or are you?, but that thumbs up is not necessary.

    Last but not least, people should know that, I am a woman of prinsip. You can kill me if you want but for me to stoop low just to survive .. I won’t…. I rather die.

    Thank you to all my supporter family and friends, your kind words make Ummi strong again. May Allah swt bless the good people around me. You all are just too kind to me.

    Ummi Abdullah

  • Ambeng Cafe Antara Empat Tempat Makanan Yang Digantung Lesen Kerana Gagal  Pastikan Premis Bebas Lipas

    Ambeng Cafe Antara Empat Tempat Makanan Yang Digantung Lesen Kerana Gagal Pastikan Premis Bebas Lipas

    Empat tempat makanan, termasuk Ambeng Cafe By Ummi Abdullah, menerima notis penggantungan lesen hari ini (10 Feb) kerana gagal memastikan premis masing-masing bebas lipas.

    Keempat-empat tempat makanan itu juga menerima notis dari Penguasa Sekitaran Kebangsaan (NEA) itu kerana gagal mendaftarkan pembantu-pembantu kedai mereka.

    Menurut notis penggantungan lesen yang dimuat naik ke laman NEA, lesen Ambeng Cafe akan digantung dari Isnin depan (13 Feb) hingga 26 Februari.

    Restoran itu, menurut NEA, sudah mendapat 12 mata demerit sepanjang 12 bulan lepas.

    Selain Ambeng Cafe By Ummi Abdullah di East Village di kawasan Simpang Bedok, tiga lagi tempat makanan yang mendapat notis itu adalah:

    • Gerai Makanan Nombor 18 di Kopitiam di Pusat Beli-Belah Jurong Point
    • Gerai Nombor 2 di 536A Upper Serangoon Road
    • Gerai Nombor 2 di Blk 866A Tampines Street 83, Tampines Central Community Complex

    Operasi keempat-empat tempat makanan itu akan digantung selama dua minggu dan masing-masing didenda S$800.

    “Demi memastikan piawai tinggi kebersihan makanan dikekalkan di semua tempat makanan, kami juga ingin menasihati orang ramai yang melihat amalan kebersihan yang rendah di tempat-tempat makanan supaya jangan mengunjungi cawangan seperti itu tetapi sebaliknya, menghubungi Pusat Hubungan NEA 24-jam kami di 1800 – CALL NEA (1800 – 2255632) dengan butirannya agar kami dapat menjalankan siasatan susulan,” menurut NEA.

    SEBUAH RESTORAN DI TERMINAL 2 DIDAPATI JUAL MAKANAN TIDAK BERSIH

    Sementara itu, secara berasingan, sebuah restoran di Lapangan Terbang Changi Terminal 2 akan ditutup selama dua minggu mulai Isnin depan (13 Feb) setelah didapati menjual makanan yang tidak bersih.

    Dalam notis penggantungan operasi yang dimuat naik ke lamannya hari ini, NEA menyatakan bahawa Chutney Mary Indian Fast Food di Terminal 2 sudah mendapat 12 mata demerit sepanjang 12 bulan lepas kerana gagal mendaftarkan seorang pembantu kedai, dan kerana menjual makanan yang tidak bersih.

    Restoran itu juga didenda S$800 atas kedua-dua kesalahan itu dan lesennya akan digantung dari 13 hingga 26 Februari.

    Menurut NEA, mana-mana pemegang lesen makanan yang mendapat 12 mata demerit atau lebih dalam tempoh 12 bulan, lesen mereka boleh digantung selama dua atau empat minggu, atau ditarik balik.

    Semua pengendali makanan yang bekerja di premis yang digantung lesennya juga akan dikehendaki menjalani dan lulus Kursus Kebersihan Makanan Asas sekali lagi, sebelum dapat terus bekerja sebagai pengendali makanan.

    Agensi itu menyatakan: “NEA mengambil serius kesalahan-kesalahan ini dan ingin mengingatkan para pengendali tempat makanan supaya mengamalkan kebersihan makanan dan peribadi yang baik setiap masa, dan hanya mengambil pengendali makanan yang berdaftar.

    “NEA tidak akan teragak-agak mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap sesiapa yang didapati melanggar Akta Kesihatan Awam Sekitaran.”

  • MOH: 50% Of Zika Cases Involve Foreign Nationals

    MOH: 50% Of Zika Cases Involve Foreign Nationals

    Half of the Zika cases in Singapore are foreigners who live or work here, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Thursday (Sept 1).

    Out of 115 cases, 57 are foreigners. The largest group is 23 people from China, followed by 15 from India and 10 from Bangladesh. Six cases are Malaysians, and one case each from Indonesia, Myanmar and Taiwan.

    “All had mild illness. Most have recovered while the rest are recovering well,” said the MOH spokesperson.

    Earlier on Sunday (Aug 28), the MOH said that 36 foreign workers at a construction site at 60 Sims Drive had been infected.

    The ministry announced Singapore’s first case of locally-transmitted Zika on Saturday, involving a 47-year-old Malaysian woman who lived in Block 102 Aljunied Crescent.

    Meanwhile, Malaysia reported its first Zika case on Thursday, involving a 58-year-old woman who visited her daughter in Singapore on Aug 19. Her daughter, a resident in Paya Lebar which has seen Zika cases, was confirmed as being infected with the mosquito-borne virus on Aug 30.

    In Singapore, efforts to contain Zika’s spread continued on Thursday morning with thermal fogging operations observed in the areas surrounding Aljunied Crescent and Bedok North Ave 3, which has emerged as a potential cluster after three confirmed cases were reported. Health and environment officers were also spotted lifting drain covers to check for any breeding sites.

    Residents in Bedok who spoke to TODAY on Thursday were largely unruffled by the latest development.

    “Life still goes on… It’s just a pity that the virus has hit our island and spread like wildfire,” said Mr Stephen Gomez, 61, a resident at Blk 402 Bedok North Ave 3.

    Housewife Madam Zhao Hai Ying, 27, said she would take more precautions by checking if her two young children had any mosquito bites. “But you can’t be so (fixated) on this, we just have to be a little more careful,” she added.

    Office manager Sally Lim, 43, said that Zika was not “as serious” as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), and that there was “nothing to be worried about”.

    However, she noted that some of her relatives who had originally intended to visit her this weekend at her home in Bedok had decided to cancel the visit.
