The cases were filed against famous sweet shop owners of “Corner Taaja Gudpak Bhandar”, “Shri Krishna Gudpak Bhandar”, “Anmol Sweets”, and “Kanhaiya Ghee Brand”. These outlets were using animal fat in the name of pure ghee and rotten, expired sweets and raw materials for preparing Gudpak and Pustakari (type of Nepali sweet). The production site was found very unhygienic and unsanitary. On the other hand, Kanhaiya Ghee Brand was found producing and selling inedible ghee (type of butter) with zero RM value.

The question of ethical behavior is an age-old conundrum. The prevailing issue with ethics is that it is extremely difficult to measure. A person’s moral fabric is largely based on their particular personality traits, as well as, their psychological state and environmental influences. Many believe that ethics are tied to a person’s conscience, and that good morals are often facilitated by a strong religious background. Furthermore, a person’s moral development can be linked to their economic situation and cultural differences. Interestingly, even while examining the status of one’s moral code is challenging; everyone seems to have their own unique array of ethics.
