Tsuen Wan restaurant ordered to suspend business
************************************************

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has ordered a restaurant in Tsuen Wan to suspend business for 14 days for repeated violations of the Food Business Regulation.

     The restaurant, at ground floor, front portion, 28 Sam Pei Square, was ordered to suspend business from today (August 17) to August 30, a Food and Environmental Hygiene Department spokesman said.

     "In December last year and June this year, there were two convictions in respect of illegal extension of food business at the food premises.

     "A total fine of $6,000 was levied and 30 points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day business suspension," the spokesman said.

     He said the food premises also had convictions in July and November last year for the same offence.

     "A total fine of $5,700 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered against the licensee. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days from January 11 to 17 this year," the spokesman said.

     He reminded licensees of food premises to comply strictly with the Food Business Regulation, otherwise their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
