Just yesterday, a Facebook user has reported a deeply disturbing incident that allegedly took place at 12.18am on 3 February 2026, at the parking area in front of Palm Mall, Seremban.

Mamak in Seremban seen washing leftover meat

According to the witness, at a food outlet located directly opposite the Palm Mall bus stop, a worker was seen washing leftover food, including chicken, mutton, tofu and other cooked items that were clearly leftovers at the back of the eatery. The food was then separated into trays, raising immediate alarm over how it would be used.

Allegedly used to be cooked again the next day

When the witness questioned the staff, the situation became even more concerning. Another worker initially provided unclear and misleading explanations, but it was later allegedly admitted that the washed leftovers were intended to be used again the following day, with staff insisting that it was “not dangerous”.

The witness described the practice as unethical, unhygienic, and a serious threat to public health. Reusing leftover food in this manner is unacceptable and puts unsuspecting customers at risk.

Following the incident, photos, videos, and images of the outlet have already been shared on social media, including WhatsApp. The case has since attracted widespread attention, with many netizens voicing strong concerns over the potential health hazards and questioning how such practices could still occur.
