KUCHING (March 5): The ‘Ramadan Bazaar at Meditel’ is now open daily from 1.30pm to 7.30pm throughout the fasting month, running until March 30.
Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) director Dr Ngian Hie Ung officiated the bazaar’s launch today.
Now in its fourth edition, the bazaar is jointly organised by Meditel, SGH, and the Sarawak Health Islamic Welfare Association (Perkip).
It offers a wide selection of food, beverages, and other goods for visitors.
“All participating vendors have obtained the required food handling certificates and received typhoid vaccination,” Meditel said in a statement.
“This is to ensure that they meet strict hygiene and food safety standards, aligned with SGH’s standard operating procedures (SOPs),” it added.
A total of 33 registered stalls are set up across multiple locations within SGH’s medical mall.
“There will be 10 stalls selling beverages, desserts, fruits, ‘kek lapis’, and apparel at the pavilion; with 19 others at the ‘Ceria Street Walkway’ where the sellers will cook on-site and sell their pre-packed food.
“Four food trucks will also be available near the Meditel’s Guardian premises,” the statement added.
The event is also supported by Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros), LPG Gastech Engineering Sdn Bhd, and Liansin Trading Sdn Bhd, which have sponsored aprons for all participating vendors.
