Goreng Pisang with Plastics?

The extent some people go in order to make money.... got this email from a friend. Well, if this is true, then be careful when you buy fried food in kampongs.

This is a TRUE STORY … it happened to her place to Kedah.. tunjang.. I think.. It happened in PERLIS (titi chai kangar.. the pasar malam area where GORENG PISANG are sold in the afternoon ..) Mom said, my uncle saw the GORENG PISANG hawker added plastic straw (for drinking water) into hot oil (and it melted) before he fried the GORENG PISANG, that is why GORENG PISANG, UBI.. etc all are very crispy for hours....

And, my uncle asked the hawker and he kept quite.. and when my uncle told my mom, they realized that this is how fried fritters are crispy for a while.. my mom said that in Thailand they do the same to keep the fried food crispy eg: ikan bilis, fried onions.. which if u leave them in the open air for hours still crispy..

Please forward to all your friends..
DO NOT EAT CRISPY FRIED FOOD from the hawkers! ..try leave it in the open air for hours and see..

Here's another one:
I was with my family Cameron Highlands. It was 3pm and we were hanging around a market area. We saw many hawker stalls, suddenly something attracted my attention.... at one of the stalls, there was a big wok of boiling oil with a half-5-litre empty oil bottle in it. The plastic bottle melted slowly in the hot oil. At first I thought it was an unintentional act by a 7-yr-old girl ....but when I looked closely, I saw she was holding a pair of chopsticks and stirring the bottle.. it appears the act was intentional… oh my God ... these people are using melted plastic to fry food… so that the tit bits will not go soft when it cooled due to plastic.
