dunno if this been posted here, but looks disgusting. http://wineanddine.asiaone.com/Wine%252CDi...0313-54189.html JOHOR - SOME hawkers in Johor Baru are literally cooking popular snacks such as goreng pisang and keledek with melted plastic, creating a health scare, a news report said. The News Straits Times reported recently that e-mails on the unethical practice have been circulating to warn people of the potential health hazards of eating extra crispy fried snacks or even chicken. The e-mails describe how some hawkers had been seen adding plastic straws and bottles into boiling oil before frying their snacks. The snacks would then remain crispy for several hours. Factory worker Rauf Hamdan, 24, was cited by the newspaper as one of the 'witnesses'. Mr Rauf said he saw a goreng pisang seller in Johor Baru throw a plastic bottle into boiling oil. "When I asked the hawker about it, he just said matter-of-factly that his customers had not complained of any health hazards from eating his goreng pisang." "He also said this 'recipe' was now popular among many hawkers like him." Plastic bottles are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which can cause various forms of cancer and birth deformities if ingested. According to the e-mails cited by New Straits Times, the trend allegedly started in Thailand, for frying ikan bilis and onions. It spread to Kedah and Perlis, then the rest of the country, the report said. Another witness said via email that his uncle had allegedly seen a goreng pisang seller adding plastic drinking straws into hot oil in Perlis. According another e-mail, a hawker in Cameron Highlands allegedly melted a five-litre empty cooking oil bottle in boiling oil by stirring it in, New Straits Times reported. Similar accounts are spreading among blogs. The Consumers Association of Penang research officer T. Subbarao said that the agency would launch an immediate investigation.

Hi, Just went pass this road which was under re-tarring. The banglas as usual directed the traffic to one side. I went over as directed.... but wtf weird sounds starting coming from the front, as if something got stuck in the tyre. When I got off my ride, I saw some parts of the front tyre melted a bit. Some sand seem to have gotten stuck too. I went pass such road works, but have never encountered partially melted rubber. To the experts: Any possible issue with such tyres that melted a bit due to the road works?? PS: no b.s. answer pls. u can keep ur mouth shut, if u have crap to add.

yes, my quad lights melted. no thanks a hanging bulb which was not screwed in.

My Anti-Slip mat lasted me 8 months before it partially melted on my dashboard. This is probably due to my ride being parked under for sun for 9 hours at my office daily. Anyone encountered melted anti-slip mat before? The transparent slimy remains kinda mildly messed up my dashboard. Tried spraying a lot of protectant and wiping it away, but still got a bit of mess left.

Just replaced to denso IR IK20 today. But during replacement, i found 2 of the plug cables shorted as there is slight melting signs on the plug cables itself. Anyone can recommend any good spark plug cables to change? Genie, help help Thanks

HAPPPYYY BIRTHDAY MELTED !!!!!!!!!!

Wanted to take a picture of it and wack those guys in US. The rubber frame of my K&N drop in filter actually melted and warped! Lasagne actually looked more in shape than it man. Has anyone experienced that also? in addition, SIngapore air is not as clean as you think. Clean your filter as often as you can.
