NTUC FairPrice, FB user trade words over rats at Kang Kar Mall

Supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice on Thursday (2 June) said it would take “necessary actions” to protect their reputation if a Facebook user who posted videos of rats at one of its outlets did not stop making “inflammatory remarks”.

In a post on its Facebook page, NTUC Fairprice identified the user as Sun Yu Ming, and said he was a delivery person for bread at their Kang Kar outlet.

Dear Customers,
We understand that Mr 孙雨明 (Sun Yu Ming) has since posted various comments on his Facebook page that suggests we have been negligent in managing the pest incident at our Kang Kar store. We have since identified Mr Sun as the delivery person for bread at our Kang Kar store, whom had been reported in the past for several occasions where he had short-changed the store by delivering less that what the store had ordered. The video he had posted was taken while he was replenishing stocks. Notwithstanding, we assure our customers that we continue to take proactive preventive measures to address the pest incident. Our investigations also show that the source of the pest did not originate from within store.

We are puzzled as to why Mr Sun would feel that we are not taking the necessary action and preventive measures to address this matter considering the various efforts we have since taken and continue to take.

We understand that he has continued to make inflammatory remarks, which questions our integrity, with the intention to mislead in his latest post. Should he persist in making such remarks, we will take necessary actions to protect our reputation.

The supermarket said Sun had been reported in the “past for several occasions where he had short-changed the store by delivering less that what the store had ordered”, and that the video of the rats had been taken while he was replenishing stocks.

“Notwithstanding, we assure our customers that we continue to take proactive preventive measures to address the pest incident. Our investigations also show that the source of the pest did not originate from within store,” NTUC Fairprice said.

On Thursday, the National Environment Agency (NEA) found five rat burrows at Hougang Mall, which is next to Kang Kar Mall, and said that it will be taking action against the mall’s management.

The NEA said it will also be taking enforcement action against NTUC FairPrice, after finding signs of rat activity such as rat droppings at its outlet in Kang Kar Mall.

The NEA said it inspected the area after the video and photos of a rat in the Kang Kar Mall supermarket were posted online.

It previously investigated the area after five rat complaints earlier in the year, but did not detect any signs of the rats.

However, it did find two rat burrows in the area under Hougang Mall’s management two weeks ago. The burrows have since been treated.

Dear Customers,

FairPrice is aware of the recent online post of a pest found at our Kang Kar Mall store. The rat had already been caught on 28th May, before the video was posted. NEA has inspected our store yesterday and no rats were found. We will continue to work with various parties to investigate the source of the rat. Furthermore, the store has since disposed all products that may have been compromised by the rat and have sanitized the area thoroughly.

Please be assured that should any pest be found in our stores, we will get our pest control specialists to respond within 2 hours.

We will continue to step up our efforts to maintain a clean environment for our customers.

The NEA did not say what actions would be taken. According to the NEA’s website, mall management or operators face a fine of up to S$5,000 if their premises are found to have an infestation.
