Maisarah owns a Thai Food Restaurant in Petaling Street. The food in her restaurant is very delicious and it is always full with customers who come for dining in and takeaway. One day, while she was preparing rice and seafood Tom Yum for her customer, she noticed a dead lizard underneath the rice that she had put slices of cucumber on top. Maisarah then put the plate on the table next to a rubbish bin behind the backdoor outside her restaurant, with an intention to dispose the food later.

The homeless person subsequently suffered food poisoning due to contamination. Advise Maisarah if she is responsible towards the homeless person under negligence law.
