The Education Ministry (MOE) has taken appropriate steps to raise awareness among students and parents to buy the right food at the right place, said director-general of Education Azman Adnan.
Speaking to the media on Friday (Feb 21) after delivering his address at the opening of the 2025/2026 school session, Azman stressed the importance of this awareness following the tragic incident of a child choking on gummy candy, aiming to prevent similar occurrences.
