TAWAU: A company producing soy sauce, sauces and condiments as well as packaging was fined RM10,000 by the Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for failing to comply with the notice of recall the products.
Sri Tanjong Assemblyman Justin Wong urged the health authorities to handle the diarrhoea problem in the district with transparency and accountability.
“The people here deserve to know what is going on so that they can take precautionary steps to avoid getting ill,” he said.
Justin claimed the health authorities were keeping people in the dark despite clinics here receiving up to 80 cases daily for over a week

TAWAU: A total of 1,200 frontline workers in Tawau will receive their Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine jab from Monday under the first phase of the National Covid-19 Immunisation programme.
Health Officer at the Tawau Health Office, Dr G Navindran, said the vaccination programme for the frontliners would be carried out over a period of three days from Monday.
The doctor, who also received the Covid-19 vaccine jab Monday, advised the public to not be afraid to get the vaccine jab and urged them to register for the vaccination through the MySejahtera application.
Delayed test results and mass Covid-19 screening programmes are the main factors that led Tawau to record the highest daily new cases in Sabah for five consecutive days, with 24 cases reported yesterday
TAWAU (Jan 23): Delayed test results and mass Covid-19 screening programmes are the main factors that led Tawau to record the highest daily new cases in Sabah for five consecutive days, with 24 cases reported yesterday.
Tawau health officer Dr G Navindran said they had received over 800 delayed test results since the past week, whereby the samples had been sent to laboratories outside the district to be processed.
He said the mass screening conducted by the Social Security Organisation (Socso) on farm and factory workers, including in Kalabakan, for the last two weeks also contributed to the increased cases.
“The workers were screened by Socso’s panel clinics while the Tawau Health Office screened the close contacts of those who tested positive for Covid-19,” he told reporters at the Tawau Health Clinic here today.
