   That gap makes it unlikely that the laboratory was the source of the man's illness, Daniel Wang, the director general of public health of the National Environmental Agency, said after the news conference.

   Meet the bloke responsible for all the above, the man entasked with creating the our infamous hawker centres and introducing the hygienic practices that come with it, Mr Daniel Wang.
   
   He was the Head of Engineering Department in the Environment Ministry way back in 1973 when the idea of re-housing all the street food vendors in Singapore was mooted. He remembered that " there were about 20,000 street food hawkers operating all over and we had to license each and every one of them, to be fair". Also, he had to ensure that unhygienic practices and habits were banished.
   ...
   Mr Wang did not receive any complains from them and the best compliment came in the form of a very interesting comment. " When we relocated the Chinatown hawkers, which used to operate in the streets under dark, dank and dinghy makeshift canvassed sheet roofs, they said they could finally see sunlight there. They meant to say, thank you.".
   
   But not all the hawkers were saints. Some of them in the Bukit Timah area, when re-housed in a breezy new food centre surrounded by trees, complained that droplets of rain came in when it poured. To which Mr Wang replied with black humour " Your marriage to your wife comes with the mother-in-law, it's a natural package deal, just like the wind, sun and rain. We can't choose."
   
   Last year, at age 61, he retired as the Director General of Public Health at the National Environment Agency, but not before he personally supervised his pet swansong project, the new Lagoon Food Centre at East Coast Parkway. He wanted to inject soul on "the only public hawker center in Singapore with a beachfront." His instructions had keywords like resort like, cabanas, feet on sand, canvass umbrellas, breezy, Bali style washrooms, timber tables etc…But his team responded with words like why, difficult, food buried in sand and graffiti on tables, unusual etc..
   
   So he put his foot down and today, the Lagoon Food Center is one of m personal fave street food eateries here. Good and cheap makan abound and the place is breezy with a resort feel and is very charming, especially if you sit near the beach.
   
   He is now an advisor to the Prima Group which produces food products and pre-mixes and a work to live and live to eat foodie.
   ...
   Mr Wang says " the first thing that struck me was the texture of the noodle. It is soft yet resilient. My boss Primus asked me to get the cooks secret to his noodle technique. I told him there was no way he would just tell you a family secret."
