Asked to comment on Huee’s allegation that some teachers are selling junk food, National Union of the Teaching Profession secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng says it is not true at all.
She says there are a few cases of teachers selling nasi lemak but that is only because their canteen is having problems. But, she stresses that, teachers are not selling junk food in school.
Retired teacher and NUTP secretary K. Ravindran Nair says there are few cases of students and teachers selling nasi lemak but he hasn’t seen or heard of any cases of teachers selling junk food in the 30 years he has been in the teaching profession.

Yeah I forgot about Nasi Lemak as a type of fast food too. It's definitely unhealthy - especially the one that is cooked in coconut milk (which is how most Nasi Lemak sellers prepare them anyway).

I don't think it's a good idea to allow teachers to sell Nasi Lemak. Kids look to their teachers for guidance. Guiding them into the world of obesity and heart attacks in their later life is definitely not the way to go.
