Problems:
A large amount of oil is used in Bruneian cooking, as deep frying is a common and popular method of cooking food. The high fat content of deep-fried food poses a health risk to the people who consume it, but the residual oil, if improperly disposed of, poses a completely new problem that does not receive enough publicity. Members of the Bruneian public are not truly aware of the problems associated with reusing cooking oil and disposing of waste cooking oil improperly. There are no proper facilities for waste cooking oil disposal or appropriate enforcement of regulations. Currently, used cooking oil is primarily disposed down drains, dumped on the ground or in landfills, or donated to market food vendors. Health problems arise from reusing cooking oil more than once. Improper disposal of used cooking oil results in the blockage of drains and sewers. In addition it contributes to the killing of terrestrial and aquatic plant and animal life, like a silent and invisible oil spill no one is aware of.
