MALAYSIA BOLEH tak bertimbang rasa?

What is the link between ikan bakar .......



....... the Euro 2012 mascots, Slavek and Slavko ..........

  and our venerable  Berita Harian ......

 More to the point - how does this affect peace and tranquility  for the benighted dwellers of Setiawangsa?   For three nights, in the early mornings of 28 June, 29 June and 2 July, from  0130 hours to almost 0400 hours they were assaulted  by the raucous screechings of the presenters .....

followed by the direct transmissions of the two semi-finals and Final of Euro 2012.        The noise would have reached many hundreds of homes in this residential area.

I'm no party pooper,  I support healthy sports and sporting activities, but this cacophony - emanating from an open 'hall'  ....


..... (which also served as a Wedding Hall for rent) -  ....

.... is beyond the pale and an affront to human decency.

Our neighbour was so frustrated,  and all he could do  was to yell pitiably at 2 am from his window against the infernal  noise - but who wanted to hear him?

Call the Police?  Ho hum!   How did they get the permit to conduct this racket in a residential area?  More hums and hahs!

While the cash tills at Ikan Bakar Sekinchan and Berita Harian keep on ringing, we small fish kena bakar, we were grilled to the bones.

The next time such culinary and national newspaper corporations  dream of opportunities to enhance the profit for themselves and their shareholders,  please conduct it around the plush residential  homes of the Senior Executives or in the padi fields of Sekinchan.

Community needs to write to their aduns and representative seeking strict regulations on this. There are countries where it is illegal to produce any racket/din/loud noise especially near or within residential areas, after 10PM. They can go do it in some further padangs.Citizens have a right to a peaceful night of rest.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for the comment and the advice. Will try the next time the wedding events and other 'activities' that IKS profits from affects our peaceful nights. One can but try.

Isn't it a shame that even on a very basic issue of human decency we have to go through the politicians - maybe there should be more 'ceramahs' on how to be good neighbours and not only on the 1001 ways of ensuring oneself a place in paradise, or on segregating the boys and girls in the cinemas.

Maybe your wishes will be answered soon. from what i hear, IBS outlets are going bust around the country. Food is too expensive, not tasty, and poor service.

The owner also runs a dealership in fancy sports cars.

Thank you Anonymous,

If IBS goes down the drain for those reasons, then they only have themselves to blame.

I for one would not want to see the end of any business because the one who pay the price are the workers, not the gaffers.

I've seen too much of it happening in England, to my ex-workmates - while the life of the bosses carries on as usual.

Incek, tak kan nak kacau bisnes Dato' Jamal kot. Kan dia banyak 'jasa' kat UMNO?

anak si-hamid said...

Seperti saya tulis pada ulasan sebelum ini, bukan tujuan saya untuk 'kacau' mana mana bisnes, dari mana mana Dato, dari mana mana parti politik.

Saya dan penduduk Setiawangsa hanya hendakkan hak kami untuk mendapat ketenteraman pada waktu malam.

Is that so difficult? Is that to be turned into fodder for party rivalry?

"Bukan kah dia banyak berjasa pada UMNO?" Tuan/puan lebih mengetahui.

Hamba ini hanya inginkan ketenteraman dan perlindungan dari pekedai, dari football mania, dari Berita Harian dan dari orang yang tidak dapat eja 'Encik'.

Tambah lagi, saya ini bukan 'encik' - sila periksa posting saya yang lebih awal.

Kam sia.

I thought IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Yeah lah , in omputih countries like USA, UK.. they have no qualms about firing anybody even after decades of service. Never seen anything like it. very cold blooded these anglos-saxons compared to other mat salehs.

Saya tak kesah kalau tuan Ikan Bakar Sekinchan atau Boss Berita Harian dari parti A atau parti B. Saya hanya sokong Monster Raving Loony Party Sdn Bhd (Malaysian Branch).

Ayat tuan/puan yang terakhir - saya ucapkan ribuan terima kasih.

Thank you AG,

Indeed you're right especially after you lose three nights of good sleep.

Also It's Bloody Sickening!!

Thank you Anonymous 11.27 am.

The bosses or the gaffers in every part of the world are the same. It's just the scale of the hypocrisy that's different.

Write to the PM that he's going to lose votes not because of some high strung economic policies or what have you...but because of an idiot who cares nothing about the residents' rights of peaceful nights.

Sometimes I see a red Ferrari parked there...wonder whose is that ah ?

ikan bakar sudah hangus
