There is an article in malaysiakini Ministry: Check website for info on melamine-tainted products that tells consumers to stop buying "biscuits sold in night markets, pasar tani and elsewhere which does not have labels".
Furthermore the advice goes on:
“Consumers are advised to always read labels on food packaging before buying it,” read the statement.
Excuse me but do you think the suppliers are going to on their packaging "melamine enriched"?
Those cheap biscuits are bought by poorer folks who prefer not to buy branded good as they can avoid the high costs of advertising, promotions and packaging.
I think that the rural folks also have little access to the Internet and the Health Ministry has to go to the ground to educate the poorer folks.
In fact the Health Ministry should work more closely with local authorities and MITTI to inspect those smaller factories to ensure all food produced is wholesome.

Isn't it surprise that:-
1) Vietnamese govt alerted M'sia that our biscuit is melamine enriched;
2) HK govt alerted M'sia that our biscuit is melamine enriched;
3) Chinese govt alerted alerted M'sia that their milk is melamine enriched (via bad news);
How is our Health Minister doing? Busy lobbying support for party election?
Why is it that there has never been a case of Malaysian Health Ministry announcing recall of harmful products?
Amazing, isn't it?
It's because they the one producing it.So much more probability their people end up poisoned by it. My 2cents
