Meja makan di pusat-pusat makanan minta diasingkan

Asking for Eating Tables at hawker centres to be separated

Saya adalah salah seorang pekerja yang sentiasa makan di pusat makanan Boat Quay di belakang bangunan Bank of China.

I am a worker who often eats at the Boat Quay Food Centre behind the Bank of China building. Why salah?

Saya ingin mengucapkan terimakasih kepada Kementerian Keadaan Sekitar kerana menyediakan gerai-gerai yang berasingan antara makanan-makanan Islam dan bukan Islam.

I hope to say thank you to Ministry of Environment because they provide stalls that are separate between Islamic food and non-Islamic food. (halal/not halal).

Keadaan ini bukan saja wujud di pusat makanan Boat Quay tetapi juga di pusat-pusat makanan yang lain.

This situation not only exists in Boat Quay Food Centre but also in all other hawker centers. 

Bagaimanapun, satu perkara yang saya kira perlu juga diambil berat oleh Kementerian ialah dalam mengasingkan meja-meja untuk pelanggan-pelanggan makanan Islam dengan meja-meja untuk pelanggan-pelanggan bukan Islam, atas alasan-alasan yang jelas diketahui.

However, one thing that I think is necessary to also seriously consider (diambil berat – taken weight) by Ministry is in separating tables for customers eating Muslim food from tables for customers to eat non-Muslim food, as per the reasons clearly stated above.
