THE management of Raj’s Banana Leaf, an Indian banana leaf restaurant in Bangsar, has apologised for the hygiene at its outlet, after staff were filmed washing plates with dirty water.
The management issued the apology hours after the video went viral today, but did not say when the incident happened.
However, news portal Twentytwo13 reported Kuala Lumpur mayor Mhd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz as saying that the restaurant will be shut down tomorrow.
“Gila punya restaurant (Crazy restaurant). I will instruct my health and environment department officers to seal the premise tomorrow,” said Amin.
“It will remain closed until they adhere to all of our regulations.”
The restaurant blamed new staff who were caught washing plates in what appeared to be the back lane of the restaurant.
The workers rinsed and washed the plates with dirty, stagnant water.
“This has never happened before, and should not have had happened. We also want to assure you that Raj’s Banana Leaf consistently passes health inspections conducted regularly,” the management posted on its Facebook page this evening.
The management said it had taken action against its errant workers.
“We will continue to monitor our kitchen attentively and carefully, as hygiene and cleanliness are our top priority. Strict action has been taken against these staff and we assure you that it will not happen again,” it said in the post. – May 29, 2018.

Set up a nationwide black list to stop this kind of unscrupulous operators from doing business.
