A video went viral showing a giant rat enjoying and munching on some fried chicken inside a food display at a Malaysian eatery.
The Twitter user who shared the video, @zoeyhanafiah, captioned the video “Promise I won’t eat here anymore, saw with my own eyes.”
The large rat was seen gobbling at the fried chicken before fleeing, and the video then caught the attention of the Malaysian ministry of health’s attention after it went viral.
The government responded to the viral tweet, asking “those with information to come forward and share them with us, we will take action immediately.”
The Malaysian health ministry then issued a statement earlier today that the eatery, in Pandan Indah Kuala Lumpur, will be ordered to close down.
They conducted check on the premises and found that the cleanliness was unsatisfactory and that it will be closed until 6 January 2023.
